Architectural complexity
Synchronizing data and indexes separately on disparate search and database systems is labor intensive and reduces productivity.
What is full-text search?
Full-text search makes it easy to search the contents of a database. Users specify the search text criteria, such as keywords, and the system scans one or more indexes for matches. Full text indexes are simple archives of information that are pre-organized to accelerate retrieval and solve requests faster than if the database were to scan every field individually.
Are text search challenges holding your business back?
High cost of ownership
Using multiple vendors creates duplicate costs for search and database system licensing, training, and support, which makes the total cost of your technology stack considerably higher.
Security nightmare
A multi-system architecture requires multiple points of management, which reduces overall security.
Enhance your applications with an integrated full-text search engine platform Distributed, rapid search for JSON
Easy to develop modern applications
Search is a basic requirement for modern applications. With full-text searching you can easily add powerful and flexible search capabilities to your Couchbase applications. No additional Couchbase download or installation is required. Simply enable the feature, create an index, and start searching text right away.
Simplifies code with integrated query and search
You can use full-text search queries directly within a SQL++ query, eliminating the need to write complex code to process and combine the results from separate SQL and search queries.
Built-in HA and built 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 easily with the distributed and scale-out architecture of Couchbase platform.
