Query more of your NoSQL stores

+

From now on, searx lets you to query your NoSQL data stores:

+ +

The reference configuration of the engines are included settings.yml just commented out, +as you have to set various options and install dependencies before using them.

+

By default, the engines use key-value template for displaying results. +If you are not satisfied with the original result layout, +you can use your owm template by placing the template under +searx/templates/{theme_name}/result_templates/{template_name} and setting +result_template attribute to {template_name}.

+

Futhermore, 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 the blog post about +private engines.

+
+

Configuring searx to use the stores

+

NoSQL data stores are used for storing arbitrary data without first defining their +structure.

+
+

Redis

+

Reqired package: redis

+

Redis is a key value based data store usually stored in memory.

+

Select a database to search in and set its index in the option db. You can +either look for exact matches or use partial keywords to find what you are looking for +by configuring exact_match_only.

+

In this example you can search for exact matches in your first database:

+
- name : mystore
+  engine : redis_server
+  exact_match_only : True
+  host : 127.0.0.1
+  port : 6379
+  password : secret-password
+  db : 0
+  shortcut : rds
+  enable_http : True
+
+
+
+
+

MongoDB

+

Required package: pymongo

+

MongoDB is a document based database program that handles JSON like data.

+

In order to query MongoDB, you have to select a database and a collection. Furthermore, +you have to select a key that is going to be searched. MongoDB also supports the option exact_match_only, so configure it +as you wish.

+

Above is an example configuration for using a MongoDB collection:

+
- name : mymongo
+  engine : mongodb
+  shortcut : md
+  host : '127.0.0.1'
+  port : 27017
+  database : personal
+  collection : income
+  key : month
+  enable_http: True
+
+
+
