pg_search is Available on Neon

pg_search is a high-performance full-text search extension for Postgres, bringing Elasticsearch-grade features inside Postgres. It addresses gaps in speed, ranking quality, and advanced search capabilities of native Postgres' full-text search (FTS) via tsvector and tsquery, including issues with indexing, ranking, and faceted search. pg_search is an extension written in Rust using the pgrx framework, without external dependencies or services, allowing standard SQL syntax interaction. It introduces a custom inverted index (BM25 index) to efficiently store tokens and document references, optimizing indexing for speed and enabling advanced features like prefix search, typo tolerance, and faceted searches. pg_search consistently outperforms native Postgres in benchmarking, delivering up to 1,000x faster performance for some queries. It is now available on Neon databases in AWS regions running Postgres 17, with installation instructions provided.
