Ask HN: How are you replacing IndexTank?

I have yet to migrate off of IndexTank, but I've heard good things about elasticsearch and am going to be giving it a try once time permits.

Has it been officially stated that indextank will be shutdown anytime soon?

A company that feels a need with an amazing product is getting bought and there is no altenative (i.e. no competitors), I don't get it. can someone give me a hint.

typo: feels<--fills

Time's running out on this decision since it looks like the old service is going offline in March. What's reddit moving to?

Curious about this as well. Are there any SaaS replacements, or does it mean moving to Solr or Sphinx?

We are working on a drop-in replacement for IndexTank users -- same REST API, fast search, same features and pricing, and we will aim to provide the same awesome support that IndexTank provided. We're (so far) a few guys who are passionate about search, and have worked together in search for 4+ years. If you're interested, you can email us at indexstack a.t. gmail.com.
