Full-Text Search
Couchbase’s full-text search integrates powerful, flexible tools directly into its database, enabling users to easily find data across text, geolocation, and vectors, thus improving scalability, security, and cost-efficiency for modern applications.
What is full-text search (FTS)?
Full-text search makes it easy to find content in your database by using criteria such as text, latitude, longitude, and vector embeddings to scan indexes for matches. FTS indexes are pre-organized to make retrieval faster than traditional field-based database scanning. Integrated JSON full-text search on Couchbase provides powerful search tooling with multi-language and SQL++ query support. Find documents by using simple or complex terms and phrases, geolocation, and vector search, without the need for any third-party software.
Don’t let search challenges hold you back
Simple
Eliminate secondary systems and data integrations, increase productivity with a single search and database system combined.
Affordable
Reduce the overall cost of your stack by using a single vendor for search and database licensing, training, and support.
Secure
Improve your overall security with a single-system architecture that requires only one point of management.
Integrated
Give developers an integrated text search system so they don’t have to learn new SDKs and management tooling.
Develop modern applications more easily
With our full-text search, you can add powerful and flexible capabilities to your Couchbase applications without any additional download or installation required. Enable the service, create an index, and start searching right away.
Simplify code with integrated query and search
You can use full-text search queries directly within a SQL++ query, including text, vector, and geospatial. This eliminates the need to write complex code to process and combine the results from separate SQL and search queries.
Built-in HA for any scale
Text search tools are integrated into Couchbase with built-in partitioning, replication, and auto-failover for high availability. You can scale out full-text search with the same flexible distributed and scale-out architecture of the Couchbase database platform.
