## What it is
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

- 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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: search-engine, nlp
- domain: web-development
- platform: php, cpp, self-hosted
