- About Whoosh
- ============
- Whoosh is a fast, featureful full-text indexing and searching library
- implemented in pure Python. Programmers can use it to easily add search
- functionality to their applications and websites. Every part of how Whoosh
- works can be extended or replaced to meet your needs exactly.
- Some of Whoosh's features include:
- * Pythonic API.
- * Pure-Python. No compilation or binary packages needed, no mysterious crashes.
- * Fielded indexing and search.
- * Fast indexing and retrieval -- faster than any other pure-Python, scoring,
- full-text search solution I know of.
- * Pluggable scoring algorithm (including BM25F), text analysis, storage,
- posting format, etc.
- * Powerful query language.
- * Pure Python spell-checker (as far as I know, the only one).
- Whoosh might be useful in the following circumstances:
- * Anywhere a pure-Python solution is desirable to avoid having to build/compile
- native libraries (or force users to build/compile them).
- * As a research platform (at least for programmers that find Python easier to
- read and work with than Java ;)
- * When an easy-to-use Pythonic interface is more important to you than raw
- speed.
- Whoosh was created and is maintained by Matt Chaput. It was originally created
- for use in the online help system of Side Effects Software's 3D animation
- software Houdini. Side Effects Software Inc. graciously agreed to open-source
- the code.
