Initial sponsored by Search and Discovery Fund of NLnet Foundation.

Administrators might find themselves wanting to integrate locally running search engines. The following ones are supported for now:

• Elasticsearch
• Meilisearch
• Solr

Each search engine is powerful, capable of full-text search. All of the engines above are added to settings.yml just commented out, as you have to base_url for all them.

Please note that if you are not using HTTPS to access these engines, you have to enable HTTP requests by setting enable_http to True.

Furthermore, if you do not want to expose these engines on a public instance, you can still add them and limit the access by setting tokens as described in section private engines.
