Implement vsearch as another search_engine #68

Closed jolespin closed 3 years ago

jolespin commented 3 years ago

Since vsearch is free and easy to install via conda (compared to usearch), would it be possible to include this option in future versions?

Yes, vsearch looks like a great and promising open-source alternative to the usearch. However, it still doesn't seem to support amino acid sequence alignments, which would be necessary for integrating it as a search engine.
