Today, I am excited to announce the soon release of Detektivo, a powerful new add-on for Cockpit.
Say goodbye to third-party services like Algolia or Elasticsearch, and say hello to Detektivo, a simple Full-Text Search and Indexing Add-On for Cockpit!
Key Features of Detektivo
Detektivo brings a host of powerful features to Cockpit’s existing capabilities. Some of these exciting features include:
- Flexible Storage Engines: By default, Detektivo uses SQLite’s FTS5 storage engine for indexing (great if you prefer no-server setups like Cockpit with MongoLite), but it also supports MeiliSearch for storing and searching content, giving you the flexibility to choose the engine that best suits your needs.
- Automated Indexing: Automatically index your content as you add or update it, making it immediately searchable for your users.
- Advanced Full-Text Search: Utilize full-text search capabilities with support for fuzzy matching, boolean operators etc.
- Customizable Indexing: Choose the specific fields and content types you want to index, allowing you to tailor the search experience to your needs.
- API Integration: Seamlessly integrate the full-text search functionality with Cockpit’s existing API, making it easy to incorporate into your existing projects.
A simple but powerful alternative to 3rd party services
For those of you who have relied on third-party services like Algolia or Elasticsearch to provide search functionality, Detektivo offers a comprehensive alternative right out of the box. By integrating full-text search and indexing capabilities directly into Cockpit, you can now manage your content and search functionality all in one place, reducing complexity and streamlining your workflow.
