We've been using https://github.com/loupe-php/loupe, works quite well for small-to-medium single-instance apps.

[asmodios]

Loupe is a great project and more feature-rich than php-fts (stemming, geo, Damerau-Levenshtein typo tolerance). The dependency difference isn't just about Composer packages. Loupe requires pdo_sqlite and SQLite >= 3.35.0, which isn't guaranteed on shared hosting.

Loupe seems to have a much longer dependencies list.
