Smart Search for Craft CMS
==========================

[](#smart-search-for-craft-cms)

**AI-powered Smart Search and AI Answer for Craft CMS.** Smart Search blends semantic (meaning-based) and keyword ranking, and can write a short AI Answer with sources when you want one.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Craft CMS 4.0+ or 5.0+
- PHP 8.2+
- PostgreSQL 12+ with the [`pgvector`](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector) extension (MySQL is not supported)
- OpenAI API key

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require ghoststreet/craft-smart-search
./craft plugin/install smart-search
```

Then, in Craft → **Smart Search → Settings → Connections**, add your OpenAI key and Postgres details.

> One-time database setup is required before the plugin can index anything. See [Installation](https://github.com/ghoststreet/craft-smart-search/wiki/Installation) in the wiki.

Quick example
-------------

[](#quick-example)

```
{% set results = craft.smartSearch.search('how do I reset my password') %}

  {{ r.title }}
  {{ r.excerpt }}
{% endfor %}
```
