RediSearch - Redis Powered Search Engine

Mailing List Gitter

RediSearch is a source available Full-Text and Secondary Index engine over Redis, developed by Redis Labs.

!!! note “Quick Links:” * Source Code at GitHub. * Latest Release * Docker Image: redislabs/redisearch * Quick Start Guide * Mailing list / Forum

!!! tip “Supported Platforms” RediSearch is developed and tested on Linux and Mac OS, on x86_64 CPUs.

  1. i386 CPUs should work fine for small data-sets, but are not tested and not recommended. Atom CPUs are not supported currently.

Overview

Redisearch implements a search engine on top of Redis, but unlike other Redis search libraries, it does not use internal data structures like sorted sets.

This also enables more advanced features, like exact phrase matching and numeric filtering for text queries, that are not possible or efficient with traditional Redis search approaches.

Client Libraries

Official and community client libraries in Python, Java, JavaScript, Ruby, Go, C#, and PHP.

See the Clients page for the full list.

Cluster Support and Commercial Version

RediSearch has a distributed cluster version that can scale to billions of documents and hundreds of servers. However, it is only available as part of Redis Labs Enterprise. We also offer official commercial support for RediSearch. See the Redis Labs Website for more info and contact information.
