Typesense Sync

Typesense Sync keeps your Craft content in a Typesense search index and gives your search pages a safe, short-lived key. You declare what to index and what a result looks like. The plugin does the rest.

The index follows your content

When an editor publishes, disables, deletes or restores an entry, the change reaches search within moments, through Craft's queue. User status changes are followed too, without anyone saving the user. Nothing is indexed unless you declare it, and a save never fails because the search server is down.

Change the schema without taking search down

The utility shows how each collection differs from what your code declares. Apply the difference in place, or recreate the collection: a new version is built beside the live one, and search switches to it only when it is complete. Collections that join to one another are rebuilt together, in the right order, so joins keep working.

Search keys that can only read what the page may show

craft.typesense.searchConfig('content') hands your search page everything it needs, including a key that can only search, expires within the hour, never returns pending or expired entries, and never returns the fields you mark private. The admin key never reaches a template.

Built in, off until you need it

For developers

Configuration lives in config/typesense-sync.php, so it is versioned with your code, and every key is validated: a typo is reported instead of silently ignored. Each kind of result is a small PHP class. Events let you add fields, exclude elements, reroute content and narrow search keys. Console commands cover setup, reindexing and rebuilds, with exit codes a deploy script can trust.

Requires Typesense 30.0 or later, self-hosted or Typesense Cloud.
