Search that finds it — even with a typo

Pro and Enterprise forums now have fast, typo-tolerant search — members find the right discussion even when they misspell it, with nothing for you to set up.

We've upgraded search on every Pro and Enterprise forum. Your members now get fast, typo-tolerant search — they find the right discussion even when they fat-finger the query, and results come back instantly.

Why it matters

Flarum's built-in search is exact-match: misspell a word and you get nothing back — which is exactly when people are searching hardest, half-remembering a thread from months ago. Now "annoucement", "databse", and "intergration" all still surface the right threads. Your forum's archive — all that accumulated knowledge — is finally easy to dig back out.

What you need to do

Nothing. It's already running on your forum: indexed automatically and kept current in real time as people post. No extension to install, no settings to touch, and nothing changes about how your members search — it's just better.

How it works

Search runs entirely on our own infrastructure — your content is never sent to any third party — and the index rebuilds itself from your forum's database, so it stays accurate with nothing for you to maintain.


Typo-tolerant search is included on Pro and Enterprise plans. On Base and want it? You can upgrade any time from your hosting dashboard — your forum and all its data move over intact.
