Administrators might find themselves wanting to integrate locally running search
|
|
engines. The following ones are supported for now:
|
|
|
|
* `Elasticsearch`_
|
|
* `Meilisearch`_
|
|
* `Solr`_
|
|
|
|
Each search engine is powerful, capable of full-text search. All of the engines
|
|
above are added to ``settings.yml`` just commented out, as you have to
|
|
``base_url`` for all them.
|
|
|
|
Please note that if you are not using HTTPS to access these engines, you have to enable
|
|
HTTP requests by setting ``enable_http`` to ``True``.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, if you do not want to expose these engines on a public instance, you
|
|
can still add them and limit the access by setting ``tokens`` as described in
|
|
section :ref:`private engines`.
|
|

MeiliSearch
|
|
===========
|

.. sidebar:: info

<https://docs.meilisearch.com/learn/getting_started/installation.html>`_
|
|
|
|
MeiliSearch_ is aimed at individuals and small companies. It is designed for
|
|
small-scale (less than 10 million documents) data collections. E.g. it is great
|
|
for storing web pages you have visited and searching in the contents later.
|
|
|
|
The engine supports faceted search, so you can search in a subset of documents
|
|
of the collection. Furthermore, you can search in MeiliSearch_ instances that
|
|
require authentication by setting ``auth_token``.
|
|
|
|
Here is a simple example to query a Meilisearch instance:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: yaml
|
|
|
|
- name: meilisearch
|
|
engine: meilisearch
|
|
shortcut: mes
|
|
base_url: http://localhost:7700
|
|
index: my-index
|
|
enable_http: true
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _engine elasticsearch:

Elasticsearch
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
.. sidebar:: info
|
|
|
|
- :origin:`elasticsearch.py <searx/engines/elasticsearch.py>`
|
|
- `Elasticsearch <https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/>`_
|
|
- `Elasticsearch Guide
|
|
<https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index.html>`_
|
|
- `Install Elasticsearch
|
|
<https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/install-elasticsearch.html>`_
|
|
|
|
Elasticsearch_ supports numerous ways to query the data it is storing. At the
|
|
moment the engine supports the most popular search methods (``query_type``):
|
|
|
|
- ``match``,
|
|
- ``simple_query_string``,
|
|
- ``term`` and
|
|
- ``terms``.
|
|
|
|
If none of the methods fit your use case, you can select ``custom`` query type
|
|
and provide the JSON payload to submit to Elasticsearch in
|
|
``custom_query_json``.
|
|
|
|
The following is an example configuration for an Elasticsearch_ instance with
|
|
authentication configured to read from ``my-index`` index.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: yaml
|
|
|
|
- name: elasticsearch
|
|
shortcut: es
|
|
engine: elasticsearch
|
|
base_url: http://localhost:9200
|
|
username: elastic
|
|
password: changeme
|
|
index: my-index
|
|
query_type: match
|
|
# custom_query_json: '{ ... }'
|
|
enable_http: true
|
|
|
|
.. _engine solr:
|
|
|
|
Solr
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
.. sidebar:: info
|
|
|
|
- :origin:`solr.py <searx/engines/solr.py>`
|
|
- `Solr <https://solr.apache.org>`_
|
|
- `Solr Resources <https://solr.apache.org/resources.html>`_
|
|
- `Install Solr <https://solr.apache.org/guide/installing-solr.html>`_
|
|
|
|
Solr_ is a popular search engine based on Lucene, just like Elasticsearch_. But
|
|
instead of searching in indices, you can search in collections.
|
|
|
|
This is an example configuration for searching in the collection
|
|
``my-collection`` and get the results in ascending order.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: yaml
|
|
|
|
- name: solr
|
|
engine: solr
|
|
shortcut: slr
|
|
base_url: http://localhost:8983
|
|
collection: my-collection
|
|
sort: asc
|
|
enable_http: true
