Xapian

Search engine library behind many search tools

About Xapian

Xapian is a search engine library that developers embed to add probabilistic ranking and full-text search to their applications. Running your own instance means the features, storage limits, and upgrade schedule are yours to choose rather than a vendor's roadmap. It also plays well alongside other self-hosted tools, since open interfaces and standard protocols make integrations and automation much easier to build.
