Fuse: Comparison with other search solution / services?

[isteven]

Hi @krisk and all,

I'm currently trying to find a text search solution, and I wonder what are the pros & cons of Fuse compared with other search solutions, like Lucene, Elastic, Azure Search, etc.

To give some context, let's say:

• The main goal is to get the most accurate fuzzy search result
• Can be easily configured / tweaked
• Database size is small to medium
• Running NodeJS
• Implementation effort is not an issue
• Money is not an issue

Also, another question: what is the string matching algorithm used in Fuse?

Any info / insight is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Elastic/Azure Search is database side, Fuse is a server-side or client-side tool.
