Search & Indexing Engines

Search and indexing engines power full-text search, autocomplete, and faceted filtering across large datasets. Elasticsearch and OpenSearch are the dominant engines, with managed European services removing the operational complexity of cluster management. Providers differ in indexing speed, query language features, and observability integration.
