OramaJS · open source
Full-text, vector, and hybrid search in one open-source library
OramaJS runs in the browser, on your server, or at the edge. Define a schema, insert your documents, and search. Free, open source, from the team behind Orama Search.
npm i @orama/oramaInstall it and see
No account, no key, no service. The library is the whole thing.
import { create, insert, search } from '@orama/orama'
const db = create({
schema: {
name: 'string',
description: 'string',
rating: 'number',
},
})
insert(db, {
name: 'Alpine 2 boot',
description: 'Insulated waterproof hiking boot rated for winter routes',
rating: 4.7,
})
const results = search(db, { term: 'waterproof winter boot' })
// results.hits[0].document.name === 'Alpine 2 boot'
It also runs straight from a CDN in the browser: import { create, insert, search } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@orama/orama@latest/+esm'
What's in the box
Three search modes
Full-text, vector, and hybrid search over the same index.
Answers, not just hits
Chat sessions and generated answers grounded in your own index.
Filters, facets, geosearch
Narrow by field, facet the results, or search by location.
Typo tolerance and exact match
Forgiving when you want it, strict when you say so.
Boosting and pinning
Boost fields that matter and pin results where they belong.
Multi-language text analysis
Stemming and tokenization across a wide set of languages.
A plugin system
Extend indexing, ranking, and integrations without forking.
Start in the docs
Guides for every capability above, with runnable examples. If the docs don't answer it, the source will: the library is developed in the open.
When you outgrow self-hosting
OramaJS is free and stays free. But an index you host is an index you operate: pipelines, updates, uptime. When that stops being a good use of your time, Orama Cloud Pro does the operating: connect your content, get production search with AI answers, at a flat monthly price.
