Introducing Yuca: A light-weight, in-memory, fast and simple to use search engine library.

If your app can’t handle or doesn’t really need installing a full featured and heavy search engine like Lucene, nor you want to depend on a SQL database for indexing and doing simple search based strings you can use Yuca to index documents under any number of arbitrary keys which can be grouped under tags.

The shared library currently weighs ~170kb without any packing optimizations, we hope to reduce the size further in the near future.

Today, Wed May 9th the library is only available as a C++ shared or static library, the goal is to have bindings for popular programming languages, the first being Java since I need to use it on Android apps I’m developing.

If you feel like you need something like this and you’re not coding in C++, please create an issue on the github repository asking for the language bindings that you need and I’ll try to prioritize your request for the next set of language bindings.
