Overview
The riak_search
OTP application provides
https://github.com/basho/riak with the capability to act as a text
search engine similar to Apache’s Lucene. Previously Riak Search was
a release in it’s own right. Since then Basho has decided it would be
easier for our users if Search was simply a set of functionality that
can be enabled via a config option. For that reason, if you want to
use Search you’ll have to build a Riak release and enable it.
Enabling Search
In order to enable the riak_search
app in your Riak cluster you have
to modify the etc/app.config
file. Search for the text
riak_search
and then change {enabled, false}
to {enabled, true}
.
The Search portion of your app.config
will look something like this.
{riak_search, [ {enabled, true}, ]},
