Does CockroachDB support full text search?

Question

I’m building an app on CockroachDB and need to do full-text search. Does CockroachDB provide that built-in?

Answer 1

CockroachDB doesn't yet support full text search (which typically uses an inverted index). There are plans to add the feature in the future if there’s demand for it (you can chime in here). In the meantime, consider integrating Lucene, Sphinx, or another search engine into your project.
