The following are search backends that would be nice to have in Haystack but are licensed in a way that prevents them from being officially bundled. If the community expresses interest in any of these, there may be future development.
This backend is unlikely to be built. Sphinx is pretty gimpy & doesn’t do blended search results across all models the way the other engines can. Very limited featureset as well.
