About Quickwit
Quickwit is a company known for developing open-source software solutions, with a particular focus on search technology. They are committed to providing their users with the ability to harness all of their data without adding vendor lock-ins or proprietary architectures. Quickwit has chosen to utilize Tantivy, an open-source search engine library written in Rust, for powering ParadeDB's BM25 scoring functionality. This integration enables ParadeDB customers to use high-quality BM25 scoring natively within their PostgreSQL databases.
Tantivy was selected by Quickwit due to its ergonomic developer interface, Lucene-inspired design, and high-performance search capabilities. The company's decision to adopt Tantivy was further solidified by its reputation for sustainability and security in the software development industry.
Numerous companies have expressed similar sentiments regarding their experiences with Tantivy. For instance, Nuclia, an organization in need of an alternative BM25 search engine built in Rust, found Tantivy to be the best match for its requirements. They were impressed by its ability to build a distributed indexing engine with excellent performance and clear design.
HumanFirst, another company that required a solution to replace their legacy search system, selected Tantivy for its high indexing throughput, low search latency, and high-quality code. Their testing revealed that Quickwit's technology could sustain their production workload with efficiency and reliability.
Contentsquare also recognized the value of Tantivy when they integrated it with Solr and their graph retrieval engine, XWalk. The fast performance and high code quality of Tantivy allowed them to build a comprehensive retrieval engine that seamlessly supported filtering, vector search, and full-text search.
For companies in the early stages of product development, Quickwit's commitment to open-source software, sustainability, and security is an attractive choice. They offer a flexible solution for integrating BM25 scoring functionality within PostgreSQL databases.
