Overview

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

Inverted indexes are stored as a special compressed data type that allows for fast indexing and search speed, and low memory footprint.

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.

Primary Features:

• Full-Text indexing of multiple fields in documents.
• Incremental indexing without performance loss.
• Document ranking (provided manually by the user at index time).
• Field weights.
• Complex boolean queries with AND, OR, NOT operators between sub-queries.
• Prefix matching in full-text queries.
• Auto-complete suggestions (with fuzzy prefix suggestions)
• Exact Phrase Search.
• Stemming based query expansion in many languages (using Snowball).
• Limiting searches to specific document fields (up to 32 fields supported).
• Numeric filters and ranges.
• Geographical search utlizing redis' own GEO commands.
• Supports any utf-8 encoded text.
• Retrieve full document content or just ids.
• Automatically index existing HASH keys as documents.
• Document Deletion (Update can be done by deletion and then re-insertion).
• Sortable properties (i.e. sorting users by age or name).

Not yet supported:

• Spelling correction
• Aggregations
