## Notes

valkey-search is a module for Valkey, the key-value datastore, that adds search and vector indexing to the server. The README describes it as a search engine provided as a Valkey module. It is built from source with CMake and loaded into the Valkey server as a module.

The copyright line names the module's contributors rather than a company. The repository is the only project site.

## Worth knowing

Building the module needs a recent GCC or Clang compiler. The quick start also mentions a pre-built Docker bundle, which the README does not describe, so the build from source is the route the README documents.
