About Orama

An open-source search engine that runs full-text, vector, and hybrid search entirely in JavaScript — no external server required.

Orama is a JavaScript search engine and RAG pipeline that runs in the browser, on the server (Node.js, Deno, Bun), or at the edge. It supports full-text search with BM25 ranking, vector search using embeddings, hybrid search combining both, geosearch, facets, typo tolerance, filters, stemming across 30 languages, and GenAI chat sessions. It is aimed at developers who want capable search without standing up a dedicated search service.

Where to start

Install the @orama/orama package via npm or import it directly from a CDN, then create a database with a typed schema, insert documents, and call the search function. The official documentation covers all search modes, plugins, and configuration options.
