About

PHPhinder is an open-source, lightweight, and modular search engine designed for PHP applications. It provides powerful search capabilities with a focus on simplicity, speed, and extensibility.

Features

• Full-text search for indexed documents.
• Support for advanced queries, including prefix queries, AND/OR/NOT combinations, and field-specific searches.
• Lightweight and efficient, with minimal dependencies.
• Easy integration with Symfony or other PHP frameworks.
• Highly extensible, allowing customization of query parsers and indexers.
• Fuzzy search. If no exact matches are found typo tolerance search is triggered

$engine = new SearchEngine($storage);

$engine->addDocument(['_id' => 1, 'title' => 'Hi', 'text' => 'Hello world!']);
$engine->flush();
$results = $engine->search('Hello');
print_r($results[1]->getDocument());
