PHP-native full-text search engine with real-time indexing
A pure-PHP full-text search engine offering fuzzy, boolean, and geo-search, dynamic indexing, multilingual stemming, and easy Composer installation for Laravel and custom PHP projects.
TNTSearch is a full‑text search engine written entirely in PHP, aimed at developers who need an on‑site search solution without external services. It works out of the box with Laravel Scout and any PHP application that can run Composer.
The engine supports fuzzy matching, boolean queries, geo‑search, and result highlighting. Built‑in stemmers cover several languages and custom tokenizers let you tailor word splitting. Indexes are stored in SQLite files and can be updated dynamically—insert, update, or delete documents without a full reindex. Ranking uses the BM25 algorithm, and helper functions such as Jaro‑Winkler and cosine similarity are included.
Installation is a single Composer command (composer require teamtnt/tntsearch). The package requires PHP ≥ 7.4 with PDO, SQLite, and mbstring extensions. Configuration is done via a simple PHP array, and indexes are written to a writable directory you specify. This makes TNTSearch quick to set up and easy to maintain in typical PHP hosting environments.
When teams consider TNTSearch, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
