Show HN: Java In-Memory search using Forage

Java In-Memory search using Forage operates in show hn launch.

Profile

Greetings HN, I built Forage because I kept running into the same problem: I had a few tens of thousands of records in my main database, that needed full-text search, but standing up Elasticsearch felt like overkill. The alternatives were either clunky database LIKE queries or maintaining a sync pipeline to a dedicated search cluster. Forage is a Java library that builds a Lucene index directly in your application's memory. You pull data from your database, index it locally, and search with zero network hops. What it does: - Lucene power: fuzzy matching, phrase queries, boolean logic, range queries - Function scoring for custom ranking (field boosting, decay functions, scripts) - Cursor-base

Java In-Memory search using Forage is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
