RediSearch

Querying, secondary indexing, and full-text search for Redis

Overview

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.

Getting started

If you're just getting started with RediSearch, check out the official RediSearch tutorial. Also, consider viewing our RediSearch video explainer.

The fastest way to get up and running with RediSearch is by using the Redis Stack Docker image.

Trying RediSearch

To try RediSearch, either use the RediSearch Docker image, or create a free Redis Cloud Essentials account to get a RediSearch instance in the cloud.

Docker image

The Redis Stack Docker image makes it easy to try RediSearch.

To create a local RediSearch container, run:

$ docker run -p 6379:6379 redis/redis-stack-server:latest

To connect to this instance, run:

$ redis-cli
