Search Module

What is Search Module and what is it for?

Search Module is a reusable module that lets a Holochain app index its own entries by keyword and search them. It is built to be included inside another app rather than run on its own, pairing a search zome with browser-ready interface components so a developer does not have to build keyword search from scratch.

Search Module is a reusable module from the holochain-open-dev community, which builds open-source building blocks that apps can include instead of writing everything themselves. That community's documentation groups it with two sibling index modules — one for time ranges, one for numerical ranking — as libraries that create paths and links so entries in an app's shared data can be found by time, ranking, tags and similar keys. It is not an app in its own right; it is meant to sit inside someone else's.

In practice it gives an app keyword search over its own entries. The zome indexes those entries by keyword, and the project also publishes an npm package of interface components built as native Web Components, so they can be dropped into a browser interface regardless of which framework the surrounding app uses. The README notes that search data is stored inside the DNA that includes the zome, keeping it close to the app it serves.

A developer building a Holochain app that needs to find records by text would add the Search Module zome to their DNA and use the package's components in the interface. The repository README carries the installation instructions and documentation the maintainer published, and the community's Reusable Modules site describes the family of index modules it belongs to. The repository shows no activity since 2022, so this should be read as a historical record of a documented building block rather than a current setup guide.
