NoSQL databases
 | 
						|
===============
 | 
						|

						|
   - `NoSQL databases <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoSQL>`_
 | 
						|
   - `redis.io <https://redis.io/>`_
 | 
						|
   - `MongoDB <https://www.mongodb.com>`_
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The following `NoSQL databases`_ are supported:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- :ref:`engine redis_server`
 | 
						|
- :ref:`engine mongodb`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All of the engines above are just commented out in the :origin:`settings.yml
 | 
						|
<searx/settings.yml>`, as you have to set various options and install
 | 
						|
dependencies before using them.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
By default, the engines use the ``key-value`` template for displaying results /
 | 
						|
see :origin:`simple <searx/templates/simple/result_templates/key-value.html>`
 | 
						|
theme.  If you are not satisfied with the original result layout, you can use
 | 
						|
your own template, set ``result_template`` attribute to ``{template_name}`` and
 | 
						|
place the templates at::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  searx/templates/{theme_name}/result_templates/{template_name}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Futhermore, if you do not wish to expose these engines on a public instance, you
 | 
						|
can still add them and limit the access by setting ``tokens`` as described in
 | 
						|
section :ref:`private engines`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Configure the engines
 |

=====================

 | 
						|
`NoSQL databases`_ are used for storing arbitrary data without first defining
 | 
						|
their structure.
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
Extra Dependencies
 | 
						|
------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For using :ref:`engine redis_server` or :ref:`engine mongodb` you need to
 | 
						|
install additional packages in Python's Virtual Environment of your SearXNG
 | 
						|
instance.  To switch into the environment (:ref:`searx-src`) you can use
 | 
						|
:ref:`searx.sh`::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  $ sudo utils/searx.sh shell
 | 
						|
  (searx-pyenv)$ pip install ...
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. _engine redis_server:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Redis Server
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. _redis: https://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py#installation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. sidebar:: info
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   - ``pip install`` redis_
 | 
						|
   - redis.io_
 | 
						|
   - :origin:`redis_server.py <searx/engines/redis_server.py>`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure (key value
 | 
						|
based) store.  Before configuring the ``redis_server`` engine, you must install
 | 
						|
the dependency redis_.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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``.  You find an example
 | 
						|
configuration below:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code:: yaml
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  # Required dependency: redis
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  - name: myredis
 | 
						|
    shortcut : rds
 | 
						|
    engine: redis_server
 | 
						|
    exact_match_only: false
 | 
						|
    host: '127.0.0.1'
 | 
						|
    port: 6379
 | 
						|
    enable_http: true
 | 
						|
    password: ''
 | 
						|
    db: 0
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. _engine mongodb:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
MongoDB
 | 
						|
-------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. _pymongo: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-python-driver#installation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. sidebar:: info
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   - ``pip install`` pymongo_
 | 
						|
   - MongoDB_
 | 
						|
   - :origin:`mongodb.py <searx/engines/mongodb.py>`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
MongoDB_ is a document based database program that handles JSON like data.
 | 
						|
Before configuring the ``mongodb`` engine, you must install the dependency
 | 
						|
redis_.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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.  Below is an example configuration for using a MongoDB
 | 
						|
collection:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code:: yaml
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  # MongoDB engine
 | 
						|
  # Required dependency: pymongo
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  - name: mymongo
 | 
						|
    engine: mongodb
 | 
						|
    shortcut: md
 | 
						|
    exact_match_only: false
 | 
						|
    host: '127.0.0.1'
 | 
						|
    port: 27017
 | 
						|
    enable_http: true
 | 
						|
    results_per_page: 20
 | 
						|
    database: 'business'
 | 
						|
    collection: 'reviews'  # name of the db collection
 | 
						|
    key: 'name'            # key in the collection to search for
 | 
						|
