Sifts – Simple Full Text Search
Sifts is a simple Python full text search engine library with an SQLite or PostgreSQL backend.
It is meant to be used with Python libraries that need full-text search support, but where deploying something like ElasticSearch is overkill.
It supports both SQLite FTS5 and PostgreSQL FTS as backends.
Installation
pip install sifts
Usage
import sifts
# by default, creates a new SQLite database in the working directory
collection = sifts.Collection(name="my_collection")
# Add docs to the index. Can also update and delete.
collection.add(
documents=["Lorem ipsum dolor", "sit amet"],
metadatas=[{"foo": "bar"}, {"foo": "baz"}], # otpional, can filter on these
ids=["doc1", "doc2"], # unique for each doc. Uses UUIDs if omitted
)
results = collection.query(
"Lorem",
# limit=2, # optionally limit the number of results
# where={"foo": "bar"}, # optional filter
# order_by="foo", # sort by metadata key (rather than rank)
)
The API is inspired by chroma.
Search Syntax
Sifts supports the following search syntax:
- Search for individual words
- Search for multiple words (will match documents where all words are present)
andoperatororoperator*wildcard (in SQLite, supported anywhere in the search term, in PostgreSQL only at the end of the search term)
The search syntax is the same regardless of backend.
