I built qlog because I got tired of waiting for grep to search through gigabytes of logs.
qlog uses an inverted index (like search engines) to search millions of log lines in milliseconds. It's 10-100x faster than grep and way simpler than setting up Elasticsearch.
Features:
- Lightning fast indexing (1M+ lines/sec using mmap)
- Sub-millisecond searches on indexed data
- Beautiful terminal output with context lines
- Auto-detects JSON, syslog, nginx, apache formats
- Zero configuration
- Works offline
- Pure Python
Example:
qlog index './logs/*/*.log'
qlog search "error" --context 3
I've tested it on 10GB of logs and it's consistently 3750x faster than grep. The index is stored locally so repeated searches are instant.
Demo: Run `bash examples/demo.sh` to see it in action.

Perfect for developers/DevOps folks who search logs daily.
Happy to answer questions!
