RediSearch is a query and indexing engine for Redis.
It lets you declare indexes on Redis data and query them with a dedicated query language that supports rich text retrieval, vector similarity search, filtering, and ranking. Starting with Redis 8, RediSearch is integrated into Redis rather than being released as a separate standalone module.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports a dedicated query language with AND, OR, and NOT operators.
- Offers prefix matching, fuzzy matching, and exact-phrase queries.
- Provides document ranking with BM25 scoring and optional field weighting.
- Includes auto-complete suggestions with fuzzy prefix support.
- Supports stemming-based query expansion in multiple languages and phonetic matching.
- Provides numeric filtering and geospatial search capabilities.
- Includes an aggregation engine for filtering, grouping, and analytics-style queries.
