[!NOTE] Starting with Redis 8, Redis Query Engine (RediSearch) is integral to Redis. You don't need to install this module separately.

We no longer release standalone versions of RediSearch.

See https://github.com/redis/redis for more information.

[!NOTE] 32 bit systems are not supported.

Overview

RediSearch is a Redis module that provides querying, secondary indexing, and full-text search for Redis. To use RediSearch, you first declare indexes on your Redis data. You can then use the RediSearch query language to query that data.

RediSearch uses compressed, inverted indexes for fast indexing with a low memory footprint.

RediSearch indexes enhance Redis by providing exact-phrase matching, fuzzy search, and numeric filtering, among many other features.
