Whoosh is a fast, featureful full-text indexing and searching library implemented in pure Python. Programmers can use it to easily add search functionality to their applications and websites. Every part of how Whoosh works can be extended or replaced to meet your needs exactly.
Some of Whoosh’s features include:
Pythonic API.
Pure-Python. No compilation or binary packages needed, no mysterious crashes.
Fielded indexing and search.
Fast indexing and retrieval – faster than any other pure-Python, scoring, full-text search solution I know of.
Pluggable scoring algorithm (including BM25F), text analysis, storage, posting format, etc.
Powerful query language.
Pure Python spell-checker (as far as I know, the only one).
Whoosh might be useful in the following circumstances:
Anywhere a pure-Python solution is desirable to avoid having to build/compile native libraries (or force users to build/compile them).
As a research platform (at least for programmers that find Python easier to read and work with than Java ;)
When an easy-to-use Pythonic interface is more important to you than raw speed.
