**OpenVibe.Search** is the permission-aware discovery service of the OpenVibe network, at `search.openvibe.network`. Its README describes "the canonical index document, event-fed indexing" and "an ACL-filtered query API, and deletion/visibility propagation".

## What it does

Every publication product tells Search about its resources through one contract, `search.index-document@1`. Search answers queries "without ever returning a document the caller may not see". It provides a query API (`GET /api/v1/search`, `/api/v1/suggest`, `/api/v1/documents/:owner/:type/:id`), facets, freshness-weighted ranking, saved searches, and a server-rendered search page useful without JavaScript. It stores documents, ACLs, facets and a full-text index in PostgreSQL (`ov_search`), fed through [OpenVibe.Events](/w/openvibe/openvibe-events). A visibility change or deletion leaves results immediately and emits `search.document.removed`, which can also queue a Cloudflare CDN purge.

## What it does not do yet

Indexing works end to end in production: on 2026-10-14 Search held 10,438 documents that products had sent through [OpenVibe.Events](/w/openvibe/openvibe-events). No product polls the removal feed yet, and the CDN purge needs a Cloudflare token with Cache Purge permission. Search does not own any product's content, publication state or indexability decision, nor sitemaps, feeds or page caches.

## How it fits the network

Owners can write documents directly with an owner token or, preferably, publish index-document events through [OpenVibe.Events](/w/openvibe/openvibe-events). Search calls [OpenVibe.Network](/w/openvibe/openvibe-network) for signing keys, and with saved-search notifications on it can resolve a subject and push a notification.

## Runtime and status

It runs on Node 22 and Express with PostgreSQL full-text search, listening on `127.0.0.1:4710` behind nginx. STATUS.json records the stage as "alpha" and the service deployed with `sudo ovhost deploy search`. License: AGPL-3.0.
