Zincsearch is a high-performance, self-hosted full-text search engine and database written in Go. It provides a lightweight infrastructure for indexing and searching unstructured text data, specializing in log and event analysis through a schemaless indexing model.
The system is designed as a resource-efficient alternative to heavier search infrastructure, featuring an API surface compatible with Elasticsearch for indexing and querying documents. It distinguishes itself by packaging the entire server and its built-in web search interface into a single statically linked binary.
The engine covers broad search and indexing capabilities, including advanced document search with fuzzy and wildcard queries, result aggregation for statistical insights, and a text analysis pipeline. It also includes identity-based access control and user account management to secure administrative functions and data.
Deployment is supported via single-binary execution or container images, with operational parameters managed through environment variables.
