PGroonga is a PostgreSQL extension that adds a Groonga-powered index access method for fast in-database search.
It’s designed for applications that need high-performance full text search inside PostgreSQL, especially where the built-in search features are limited for languages such as Japanese and Chinese, and where keeping everything inside the database is preferable to maintaining a separate search stack.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Provides fast full text search for all languages inside PostgreSQL.
- Supports full text search across all text values stored in JSON.
- Uses exact index search without requiring Recheck to remove false positives.
- Supports replication with PostgreSQL 9.6 or later.
- Integrates Groonga as a PostgreSQL index access method.
