Description

Large text collections can be indexed and searched with a full-text search engine that applications query through SQL-like interfaces. This is useful for websites, catalogs, logs, and applications that need fast keyword search beyond simple database LIKE queries.

The package can run server components and store indexes derived from application data. Administrators should plan indexing, access control, resource use, and how search data is refreshed.

How to run
