Web search 30M rows sub-second, cheaply

I prefer, and suggest, Sphinx over Elasticsearch. It has better performance, easier ETL and handles large datasets better.

Agreed. Elastic search is fantastic, but for simple search that needs to be fast Sphinx is hard to beat. I have been using it for years on searchcode.com and have never hit an issue with it that was not due to my own mistakes.

A fantastic piece of software.

Wow. What a great plug. Loving searchcode.com. Thank you for running such a great service! I have endless frustration trying to search Google or DDG for these things.

I had a look at the obvious things, by no means exhaustive - but I hadn't heard of Sphinx, thanks for the suggestion.
