Xunsearch is a free open-source Chinese full-text search engine built in C/C++ on Xapian and SCWS, with a PHP SDK. It provides indexing/search daemons plus features like pinyin search, suggestions, highlighting, and faceted search.

Use cases

  • add Chinese full-text search to a PHP website
  • search a MySQL database with Chinese word segmentation
  • build site search for a forum or CMS
  • implement pinyin search and search suggestions
  • build vertical/industry portal search

When to choose

  • your stack is PHP and you need Chinese full-text search on Unix servers
  • you want an all-in-one engine with segmentation, suggestions, and highlighting out of the box

When to avoid

  • you need a non-PHP SDK or Windows server deployment
  • you prefer actively developed engines like Elasticsearch or Meilisearch
