Pure-Python full-text indexing and search library, distributed on PyPI as whoosh-reloaded.
sygil-dev.github.io/whoosh-reloaded/repositorydocs
Whoosh Reloaded is a Python library for indexing text and searching it, implemented in pure Python so that it needs no compiled extensions. Applications import the library and build their own index and query code around it. It is installed from PyPI with pip under the name whoosh-reloaded, and the documentation covers the schema, indexing and searching APIs. The README credits Matt Chaput with creating Whoosh and names the Sygil-Dev Organization as the current maintainer.
