+# Configuring search
+
+{! backend/administration/CLI_tasks/general_cli_task_info.include !}
+
+## Built-in search
+
+To use built-in search that has no external dependencies, set the search module to `Pleroma.Activity`:
+
+> config :pleroma, Pleroma.Search, module: Pleroma.Search.DatabaseSearch
+
+While it has no external dependencies, it has problems with performance and relevancy.
+
+## Meilisearch
+
+Note that it's quite a bit more memory hungry than PostgreSQL (around 4-5G for ~1.2 million
+posts while idle and up to 7G while indexing initially). The disk usage for this additional index is also
+around 4 gigabytes. Like [RUM](./cheatsheet.md#rum-indexing-for-full-text-search) indexes, it offers considerably
+higher performance and ordering by timestamp in a reasonable amount of time.
+Additionally, the search results seem to be more accurate.
+
+Due to high memory usage, it may be best to set it up on a different machine, if running pleroma on a low-resource
+computer, and use private key authentication to secure the remote search instance.
+
+To use [meilisearch](https://www.meilisearch.com/), set the search module to `Pleroma.Search.Meilisearch`:
+
+> config :pleroma, Pleroma.Search, module: Pleroma.Search.Meilisearch
+
+You then need to set the address of the meilisearch instance, and optionally the private key for authentication. You might
+also want to change the `initial_indexing_chunk_size` to be smaller if you're server is not very powerful, but not higher than `100_000`,
+because meilisearch will refuse to process it if it's too big. However, in general you want this to be as big as possible, because meilisearch
+indexes faster when it can process many posts in a single batch.
+
+> config :pleroma, Pleroma.Search.Meilisearch,
+> url: "http://127.0.0.1:7700/",
+> private_key: "private key",
+> initial_indexing_chunk_size: 100_000
+
+Information about setting up meilisearch can be found in the
+[official documentation](https://docs.meilisearch.com/learn/getting_started/installation.html).
+You probably want to start it with `MEILI_NO_ANALYTICS=true` environment variable to disable analytics.
+At least version 0.25.0 is required, but you are strongly adviced to use at least 0.26.0, as it introduces
+the `--enable-auto-batching` option which drastically improves performance. Without this option, the search
+is hardly usable on a somewhat big instance.
+
+### Private key authentication (optional)
+
+To set the private key, use the `MEILI_MASTER_KEY` environment variable when starting. After setting the _master key_,
+you have to get the _private key_, which is actually used for authentication.
+
+=== "OTP"
+ ```sh
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl search.meilisearch show-keys <your master key here>
+ ```
+
+=== "From Source"
+ ```sh
+ mix pleroma.search.meilisearch show-keys <your master key here>
+ ```
+
+You will see a "Default Admin API Key", this is the key you actually put into your configuration file.
+
+### Initial indexing
+
+After setting up the configuration, you'll want to index all of your already existsing posts. Only public posts are indexed. You'll only
+have to do it one time, but it might take a while, depending on the amount of posts your instance has seen. This is also a fairly RAM
+consuming process for `meilisearch`, and it will take a lot of RAM when running if you have a lot of posts (seems to be around 5G for ~1.2
+million posts while idle and up to 7G while indexing initially, but your experience may be different).
+
+The sequence of actions is as follows:
+
+1. First, change the configuration to use `Pleroma.Search.Meilisearch` as the search backend
+2. Restart your instance, at this point it can be used while the search indexing is running, though search won't return anything
+3. Start the initial indexing process (as described below with `index`),
+ and wait until the task says it sent everything from the database to index
+4. Wait until everything is actually indexed (by checking with `stats` as described below),
+ at this point you don't have to do anything, just wait a while.
+
+To start the initial indexing, run the `index` command:
+
+=== "OTP"
+ ```sh
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl search.meilisearch index
+ ```
+
+=== "From Source"
+ ```sh
+ mix pleroma.search.meilisearch index
+ ```
+
+This will show you the total amount of posts to index, and then show you the amount of posts indexed currently, until the numbers eventually
+become the same. The posts are indexed in big batches and meilisearch will take some time to actually index them, even after you have
+inserted all the posts into it. Depending on the amount of posts, this may be as long as several hours. To get information about the status
+of indexing and how many posts have actually been indexed, use the `stats` command:
+
+=== "OTP"
+ ```sh
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl search.meilisearch stats
+ ```
+
+=== "From Source"
+ ```sh
+ mix pleroma.search.meilisearch stats
+ ```
+
+### Clearing the index
+
+In case you need to clear the index (for example, to re-index from scratch, if that needs to happen for some reason), you can
+use the `clear` command:
+
+=== "OTP"
+ ```sh
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl search.meilisearch clear
+ ```
+
+=== "From Source"
+ ```sh
+ mix pleroma.search.meilisearch clear
+ ```
+
+This will clear **all** the posts from the search index. Note, that deleted posts are also removed from index by the instance itself, so
+there is no need to actually clear the whole index, unless you want **all** of it gone. That said, the index does not hold any information
+that cannot be re-created from the database, it should also generally be a lot smaller than the size of your database. Still, the size
+depends on the amount of text in posts.

- `follower_count`: follower count
- `following_count`: following count
+### Authenticating via `sec-websocket-protocol` header
+
+Pleroma allows to authenticate via the `sec-websocket-protocol` header, for example, if your access token is `your-access-token`, you can authenticate using the following:
+
+```
+sec-websocket-protocol: your-access-token
+```
+
+### Authenticating after connection via `pleroma:authenticate` event
+
+Pleroma allows to authenticate after connection is established, via the `pleroma:authenticate` event. For example, if your access token is `your-access-token`, you can send the following after the connection is established:
+
+```
+{"type": "pleroma:authenticate", "token": "your-access-token"}
+```
+
+### Response to client-sent events
+
+Pleroma will respond to client-sent events that it recognizes. Supported event types are:
+
+- `subscribe`
+- `unsubscribe`
+- `pleroma:authenticate`
+
+The reply will be in the following format:
+
+```
+{
+ "event": "pleroma:respond",
+ "payload": "{\"type\": \"<type of the client-sent event>\", \"result\": \"<result of the action>\", \"error\": \"<error code>\"}"
+}
+```
+
+Result of the action can be either `success`, `ignored` or `error`. If it is `error`, the `error` property will contain the error code. Otherwise, the `error` property will not be present. Below are some examples:
+
+```
+{
+ "event": "pleroma:respond",
+ "payload": "{\"type\": \"pleroma:authenticate\", \"result\": \"success\"}"
+}
+
+{
+ "event": "pleroma:respond",
+ "payload": "{\"type\": \"subscribe\", \"result\": \"ignored\"}"
+}
+
+{
+ "event": "pleroma:respond",
+ "payload": "{\"type\": \"unsubscribe\", \"result\": \"error\", \"error\": \"bad_topic\"}"
+}
+```
+
+If the sent event is not of a type that Pleroma supports, it will not reply.
+
+### The `stream` attribute of a server-sent event
+
+Technically, this is in Mastodon, but its documentation does nothing to specify its format.
+
+This attribute appears on every event type except `pleroma:respond` and `delete`. It helps clients determine where they should display the new statuses.
+
+The value of the attribute is an array containing one or two elements. The first element is the type of the stream. The second is the identifier related to that specific stream, if applicable.
+
+For the following stream types, there is a second element in the array:
+
+- `list`: The second element is the id of the list, as a string.
+- `hashtag`: The second element is the name of the hashtag.
+- `public:remote:media` and `public:remote`: The second element is the domain of the corresponding instance.
+
+For all other stream types, there is no second element.
+
+Some examples of valid `stream` values:
+
+- `["list", "1"]`: List of id 1.
+- `["hashtag", "mew"]`: The hashtag #mew.
+- `["user:notifications"]`: Notifications for the current user.
+- `["user"]`: Home timeline.
+- `["public:remote", "mew.moe"]`: Public posts from the instance mew.moe .
+
+### The unified streaming endpoint
+
+If you do not specify a stream to connect to when requesting `/api/v1/streaming`, you will enter a connection that subscribes to no streams. After the connection is established, you can authenticate and then subscribe to different streams.
+
+### List of supported streams
+
+Below is a list of supported streams by Pleroma. To make a single-stream WebSocket connection, append the string specified in "Query style" to the streaming endpoint url.
+To subscribe to a stream after the connection is established, merge the JSON object specified in "Subscribe style" with `{"type": "subscribe"}`. To unsubscribe, merge it with `{"type": "unsubscribe"}`.
+
+For example, to receive updates on the list 1, you can connect to `/api/v1/streaming/?stream=list&list=1`, or send
+
+```
+{"type": "subscribe", "stream": "list", "list": "1"}
+```
+
+upon establishing the websocket connection.
+
+To unsubscribe to list 1, send
+
+```
+{"type": "unsubscribe", "stream": "list", "list": "1"}
+```
+
+Note that if you specify a stream that requires a logged-in user in the query string (for example, `user` or `list`), you have to specify the access token when you are trying to establish the connection, i.e. in the query string or via the `sec-websocket-protocol` header.
+
+- `list`
+ - Query style: `?stream=list&list=<id>`
+ - Subscribe style: `{"stream": "list", "list": "<id>"}`
+- `public`, `public:local`, `public:media`, `public:local:media`, `user`, `user:pleroma_chat`, `user:notifications`, `direct`
+ - Query style: `?stream=<stream name>`
+ - Subscribe style: `{"stream": "<stream name>"}`
+- `hashtag`
+ - Query style: `?stream=hashtag&tag=<name>`
+ - Subscribe style: `{"stream": "hashtag", "tag": "<name>"}`
+- `public:remote`, `public:remote:media`
+ - Query style: `?stream=<stream name>&instance=<instance domain>`
+ - Subscribe style: `{"stream": "<stream name>", "instance": "<instance domain>"}`

## User muting and thread muting
Both user muting and thread muting can be done for only a certain time by adding an `expires_in` parameter to the API calls and giving the expiration time in seconds.
