Amgix Now is a single-binary, high-performance hybrid search engine written in Rust, derived from the distributed Amgix system. It focuses on low latency and high throughput for keyword and hybrid search, with custom tokenizers like WMTR and compatibility with existing APIs. The project is interesting for its performance benchmarks against established search engines and its potential as a lightweight alternative for many use cases.
