groonga
brew install groonga
v16.0.5
LGPL-2.1-or-later
Open-source fulltext search engine and column store written in C with plugin support.
Why you might care
Groonga provides fast inverted-index and column-oriented storage for full-text search and analytics. Use it as a standalone server or embedded library when you need Japanese morphological analysis (via MeCab), complex query support, and high throughput on large datasets. It's lighter than Elasticsearch but more feature-rich than simple grep-based solutions.
