This plugin provides an easy to use SearchEngine implementation to use with the @backstage/plugin-search-backend based on Postgres. Therefore it targets setups that want to avoid maintaining another external service like elastic search. The search provides decent results and performs well with ten thousands of indexed documents. The connection to postgres is established via the database manager also used by other plugins.

Important

: The search plugin requires at least Postgres 12!

Getting started

See Backstage documentation for details on how to setup Postgres based search for your Backstage instance.
