17× faster than Spotlight. Measured. On your Mac.
Same corpus, same machine, head to head — 48,899 real documents, run policy and corpus hash published. This page holds the receipts.
macOS 26.5 · Apple M3 Max · 64 GB · 07/2026 · corpus hash pinned · full harness in the reproduction pack
Hardware, corpus, run policy and date ship with every claim — re-run everything yourself.
4.8 ms. Same corpus, same machine.
A reproducible, controlled comparison against macOS Spotlight on one mixed real-document corpus — 48,899 files, 1.19 GB, corpus hash pinned. macOS 26.5 · Apple M3 Max · 64 GB · 07/2026.
| Metric | INDAGO | macOS Spotlight | Factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warm query, median | 4.8 ms | 81.7 ms | 17× |
| Index build (full corpus) | 37.2 s | 320.0 s | 8.6× |
| Morphology / word-form queries (hit@1) | 30% | 0% | — |
| Compound-split / hyphen queries (hit@5) | 100% | 0% | — |
| Typo / fuzzy queries (hit@1) | 50% | 0% | — |
Fairness of the capability-class probes is verified empirically, not by lexical disjointness. The full harness ships in the reproduction pack.
Millions of documents. Milliseconds to answer.
| Metric | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Indexing throughput | 1M+ documents / hour | sustained, local, single machine |
| Live delta-ingest | < 50 ms | new document → queryable in the live index |
| Working corpus in daily production | 500,000+ documents | plus millions of code lines, continuously re-indexed |
Counted, not estimated.

Catalogs are generated from the live plug-in registry and exported with every release.
Same query, same answer — provable.
Every response carries a _provenance envelope (engine version, git sha, index state hash); every render is journaled as a chained SHA-256 event. The mechanics live on the trust page — the reproduction pack adds the benchmark harness, raw timings and corpus manifest so a third party can re-run everything above.
Externally verifiable.
Hardware, corpus, run policy and dates are published with every number; the harness is reproducible end to end. We say “externally verifiable” — and will upgrade to “independently replicated” when a named party has reproduced the results. Company-wide engine benchmarks (Protor) live at vectorio.io/evidence.
