Manticore Search, an open source full text and analytics search engine with SQL and HTTP interfaces.
Manticore Search is an open source database for search. Its single searchd daemon delivers fast full text search, filtering and real time analytics over your own data, and speaks three interfaces: a MySQL compatible SQL protocol, a JSON HTTP API, and a binary protocol. It runs in real time mode, so you create tables and index documents on the fly without restarts, making it a lean, self contained alternative to heavier search stacks.
It suits site and product search, log and full text analytics, and powering search features inside your own applications.
cloudimg ships Manticore Search on a hardened base, installed from the official repository so you start on the newest stable release. The search interfaces have no built in authentication, so the image keeps them bound to localhost and puts the only reachable door behind a reverse proxy whose password is generated uniquely for your instance on first boot and written to a file only the root user can read, so there is no default login to change. The paired deployment guide walks through indexing your first table and querying over SQL and HTTP, and every instance carries 24/7 support.
