A modern indexing + search library in GO

## Features

* Index any GO data structure or JSON
* Intelligent defaults backed up by powerful configuration ([scorch](https://github.com/blevesearch/bleve/blob/master/index/scorch/README.md))
* Supported field types:
  * `text`, `number`, `datetime`, `boolean`, `geopoint`, `geoshape`, `IP`, `vector`
* Supported query types:
  * `term`, `phrase`, `match`, `match_phrase`, `prefix`, `regexp`, `wildcard`, `fuzzy`
  * term range, numeric range, date range, boolean field
  * compound queries: `conjuncts`, `disjuncts`, boolean (`must`/`should`/`must_not`)
  * [query string syntax](http://www.blevesearch.com/docs/Query-String-Query/)
  * [geo spatial search](https://github.com/blevesearch/bleve/blob/master/geo/README.md)
  * approximate k-nearest neighbors via [vector search](https://github.com/blevesearch/bleve/blob/master/docs/vectors.md)
  * [synonym search](https://github.com/blevesearch/bleve/blob/master/docs/synonyms.md)
* [tf-idf](https://github.com/blevesearch/bleve/blob/master/docs/scoring.md#tf-idf) / [bm25](https://github.com/blevesearch/bleve/blob/master/docs/scoring.md#bm25) scoring models
* Hybrid search: exact + semantic
* Query time boosting
* Search result match highlighting with document fragments
* Aggregations/faceting support:
  * terms facet
  * numeric range facet
  * date range facet

## Indexing

```go
message := struct {
    Id   string
    From string
    Body string
}{
    Id:   "example",
    From: "xyz@couchbase.com",
    Body: "bleve indexing is easy",
}

mapping := bleve.NewIndexMapping()
index, err := bleve.New("example.bleve", mapping)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
index.Index(message.Id, message)
```

## Querying

```go
index, _ := bleve.Open("example.bleve")
query := bleve.NewQueryStringQuery("bleve")
searchRequest := bleve.NewSearchRequest(query)
searchResult, _ := index.Search(searchRequest)
```

## Command Line Interface

To install the CLI for the latest release of bleve, run:

```bash
go install github.com/blevesearch/bleve/v2/cmd/bleve@latest
```

```text
