Suggest - Online Shop

Our new Suggest component "Proxima" - based on the Lucene library and our own know-how from three previous implementations has just reached version 1.0. It contains everything we wished for in previous projects and what was only possible to a limited extent or not at all with existing solutions (commercial and open source):

• Low-latency live updates and support for external indexing pipelines; for example, the service can "serve" itself directly from Google Big Query or listen for updates at a queue
• True multi-field support, including separate weights for fields and extensive configurability
• Flexible matcher arrangements, e.g. to handle ID queries separately or not to "fuzz" correctly written queries at all
• Dramatic improvement of memory consumption, startup times and query latency
• Full UTF8 support, debugging tools, scalability and a modern API are a given anyway
