12+ tokenizers to break apart text into searchable tokens: ngrams, stemmers, ICU, dictionaries, more.
Multi-language support
20+ languages out of the box, including dictionary-based tokenizers configurable per column.
Built on Postgres.
The world's most-admired open-source database, proven in production at every scale.
Built as an extension
Pure Postgres extension. Drops into any self-managed Postgres with no fork and no separate server. Or let us run it for you.
Standard SQL
Joins, CTEs, window functions, JSONB, PL/pgSQL, row level security (RLS), materialized views. Search is a WHERE clause.
ACID transactions
Commits, rollbacks, and foreign keys, all with read after write guarantees.
Your usual ops surface
pg_dump, logical replication, high availability, pgBackRest, the dashboards and alerting your team already trusts.
The Postgres ecosystem
pgvector, pg_partman, pg_cron, PostGIS, and the rest of the extension catalog work side by side.
