search-index

Why we included this project

Plenty of full-text search libraries expect you to run a separate service, but search-index keeps everything inside your application. It indexes documents in the browser or in Node.js, persists them locally, and keeps answering queries when the network drops. That makes it a good fit for offline documentation, field tools, and any app that can't depend on a remote search backend. The interface is just two promise-based methods, PUT and QUERY, so it drops into an existing JavaScript codebase without much of a learning curve. And because the index is embedded rather than hosted, you decide where the data lives, which is handy for privacy-sensitive or edge deployments.
