Good search, embedded anywhere

Mini Search

Put useful offline search inside a site, app, sidecar, or small machine without operating a search cluster.

For developers who need capable local retrieval with a small, understandable runtime.

Current availability

The engine and language bindings exist and already power Argand projects. Versioned public packages are not published yet.

Standalone

Why use it

A smaller path from intent to outcome.

  1. 01

    Run without a server

    Keep lookup close to the content and available offline.

  2. 02

    Fit the environment

    Rust, WebAssembly, C, JNI, Python, and a local runtime cover different hosts.

  3. 03

    Bound the work

    Ingestion and retrieval are designed for predictable resource limits.

Development record

What is real now—and what still has to be earned.

The badge names this product’s place in the portfolio, not public availability. This record separates working parts from missing product proof.

In the code today

  • Rust, WebAssembly, C, JNI, Python, and local runtime surfaces
  • BM25-style retrieval, suggestions, saved searches, and bounded ingestion
  • Real use inside Argand Archive and Atlas

Before broader release

  • Versioned public packages and concise integration guides
  • Portable benchmark and compatibility artifacts

Place in Argand
