Amazon CloudSearch vs. Glean

Amazon Cloudsearch can be suitable for some queries that require fast data. For example, in our case, we used CloudSearch, in a tool called Global Search. That will search everything like names, emails and a lot of stuff in our application. If you want fast data and you have a simple query, Global Search isn't appropriate for you.

Based on my experience, Glean is well suited for scenarios where you need to search through large amounts of information in a structured format, such as Confluence pages, knowledge bases, or other similar repositories. Glean's search algorithms make it easy to find the exact information you need, even if it's buried deep in a document or spread across multiple pages. On the other hand, Glean may be less appropriate for scenarios where you need to search through unstructured data, such as messages. While Glean can still be useful in these cases, its effectiveness may be limited.

I didn't investigate the best alternatives to CloudSearch, but did help with implementing this feature in our application. But from what i tested and used - Cloudsearch is very fast to get queries. Some negative points can be the time to implement this and some configurations that can be tricky.

I like Glean a lot better as it's more intuitive.
