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.
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.
If you're just getting started with RediSearch, check out the official RediSearch tutorial. Also, consider viewing our RediSearch video explainer.
The RediSearch documentation provides a complete overview of RediSearch. Helpful sections include:
- The RediSearch quick start
- The RediSearch command reference
- References on features such as aggregations, highlights, stemming, and spelling correction.
- [Vector search] (https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/interact/search-and-query/query/vector-search/)
