## Notes

PGroonga is a PostgreSQL extension that provides an index access method built on Groonga, so a PostgreSQL database can run full-text search through a PGroonga index. The extension loads into PostgreSQL, and the project lists PostgreSQL 12 to 18 as supported. Debian packages and Homebrew formulas are documented, and the project also documents a build from source with Meson and Ninja. The PGroonga Project maintains it.

## Worth knowing

The project's users page names Supabase as a managed PostgreSQL service that offers PGroonga. The Windows packages bundle Groonga, MeCab and other libraries under their own licenses.
