Flexible and easy to scale

[sabnak]

We use manticore search for over 5 years now. It’s flexible, easy to set up, and scales well with large indexes. we’d love to see more advanced grouping options like median, and the ability to use functions like month() and day() with time zone support. Overall, our experience has been very positive — we switched from sphinx long ago due to its limited features. Some context:

• Indexed documents: ~100m
• Indexed bytes: 35TiB (in the future, we plan to increase this number up to 100)

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience — it's amazing to hear you've been using Manticore for over 5 years!

We're really glad it’s been working well for your large-scale setup — 100 million documents and 35TiB indexed is impressive. It’s great to hear that Manticore’s flexibility, ease of setup, and scalability have been a good fit, especially after migrating from Sphinx.

Thanks also for the feature suggestions — more advanced grouping (like median) and time zone-aware functions like month() and day() are definitely useful ideas. We’ll take them into account as we continue evolving the engine.

Appreciate you being with us all these years — and looking forward to supporting your growth to 100TiB and beyond!
