Open source full text search engine and column store, with an HTTP command API and admin UI.
Groonga is a full text search engine and column store. It builds an inverted index over your text so queries match documents by their words rather than scanning every row, with a choice of tokenizers including bigram for mixed language text and MeCab for Japanese morphological analysis, plus normalization, stemming, geolocation search and fast drilldown aggregation. It is the engine behind Mroonga and PGroonga, and runs standalone as a server with a command API and a browser admin interface.
cloudimg ships Groonga preconfigured on a hardened, fully patched base, ready to index at first boot. Because Groonga has no authentication of its own and its command API is fully privileged, the image binds it to loopback and makes an authenticating reverse proxy the only public listener, with a unique credential generated on first boot and no default login anywhere. The database ships empty, a paired deployment guide walks through building an index and searching it, and it is backed by 24/7 support.
