The math and algorithms behind a search library

I think we see surprisingly little of anything search related. In terms of full-scale solutions, there is basically just Elasticsearch and solr. When you look at lower level libraries available, there is very little outside the Lucene world.

You may be interested by Xapian (https://xapian.org/) which is a very solid alternative to Lucene.

There's also Sphinx search (written in C++ and not based on Lucene) and the newly Manticore search fork. (disclaimer: I was/am involved in both projects).

I believe that the search part of both ES and Solr is Apache Lucene

Yes, it's good software, but pretty much a monoculture.

Yes, and I'd also like to see more posts/projects on the combination of search and NLP (natural language processing).

Doesn't SQLite of all things include an (optional) native full-text-search engine?
