Sonic is a fast, lightweight and schema-less search backend. It ingests search texts and identifier tuples that can then be queried against in a microsecond's time.
Sonic can be used as a simple alternative to super-heavy and full-featured search backends such as Elasticsearch in some use-cases. It is capable of normalizing natural language search queries, auto-completing a search query and providing the most relevant results for a query. Sonic is an identifier index, rather than a document index; when queried, it returns IDs that can then be used to refer to the matched documents in an external database.

Open Source, Distributed, RESTful, Search Engine
So we build a web site or an application and want to add search to it, and then it hits us: getting search working is hard. We want our search solution to be fast, we want a painless setup and a completely free search schema, we want to be able to index data simply using JSON over HTTP, we want our search server to be always available, we want to be able to start with one machine and scale to hundreds, we want real-time search, we want simple multi-tenancy, and we want a solution that is built for the cloud.
"This should be easier", we declared, "and cool, bonsai cool".

Search and Analyze the Social Web.
This site is all about connections between music artists. In a sense, it is a music artist recommendation system but more. For each artist, you will see the type of "similar artist" recommendations to which you are accustomed - we use last.fm and The Echo Nest to get these. But you will also see some other inter-artist connections catfish has discovered from the web of linked data. These include things like "artists that are also English Male Singers" or "artists that are also Converts To Islam" or "artists that are also People From St.Louis, Missouri". And, hopefully, you'll get some media for each artist so you can have a listen.
