I work on Typesense and I can speak to it from Typesense’s perspective.

Typesense holds the entire index in memory, in order to enable fast search where every keystroke returns results in 50-150ms. So it’s built primarily to enable user-facing search.

It’s not a good fit for log search since putting your entire log dataset in memory can become expensive depending on the size of your logs, and you typically don’t need search-as-you-type for log search.

Zinc on the other hand seems to be designed specifically for log search.
