About:
TokyoDystopia is a lightweight embedded full-text search engine library derived from Tokyo Cabinet. It provides inverted indexing and tokenization to enable fast keyword searches within large text datasets, offering a simple API for integration into applications requiring efficient text retrieval without the overhead of a full database server.

Key Features:

High-performance inverted indexing
Embedded library (no server process)
Supports multiple tokenizers and analyzers
Minimal memory footprint

Use Cases:

Adding search functionality to web applications
Indexing and searching log files or document archives
Building custom search appliances

Alternatives:

Lucene – More feature-rich and widely used but significantly heavier and requires a JVM runtime.
SQLite FTS – Integrated into SQLite, easier for SQL-based apps but less flexible in text analysis than Dystopia.
