"What are your main use cases for search or log indexing?"

To me, storing and searching logs is quite different from most other search use-cases, and it's not obvious that they should be handled by the same piece of software.

For example, tokenization, stemming, language support many other things and are basically useless in log search. Also, log search is often storing a lot of data, and rarely retrieving it (different usage pattern from many search use-cases which tend to be less write-heavy and more about reads).

I know ElasticSearch has had success in both, but if I were Manticore/Typesense/Meilisearch I'd probably just skip logs altogether.

Loki, QuickWit and other such tools are likely better suited for logs.
