Challenge

A high loaded project with more than 10 million multi-language documents and 150 million pageviews which needed a solution that allowed users to search data in a product that archives and allows clients to manage and edit a large amount of data fast and easily.

Their documents are not simple plain texts but contain all kinds of metadata that needed to be searchable.

Their data comes from many languages, like Arabic, being able to search in any of them was important for them

Solutions and results

• Custom text tokenization - allows to tweak searching for specific requirements, particularly dealing with texts coming from unsegmented languages and right-to-left writing, which represents a large portion of the client’s data.
• JSON support, which they use to encapsulate schemaless data. This way their tools can handle different types of content with little customization.
• Single server running Manticore Search without any performance issues.
