Typo-tolerant, instant, relevance-ranked search for your Flarum forum — powered by a dedicated search server we run for you. Paste one key; your forum indexes itself. Unlimited searches, nothing to maintain.
Forage is in the final stretch of development. Watch the blog for the launch.
“serach”, “instal”, “flarrum” — members find what they meant, not what they typed. Prefix matching means results appear as they type.
Titles weigh more than body text, exact matches beat partials, and the best answer surfaces first — instead of a raw date-ordered text match.
Every other Flarum search upgrade makes you run a search server. Forage is a dedicated one we run, secure, and keep updated — connected with one key.
One composer command, open source, on Packagist.
One field in your admin panel. Forage configures everything else itself.
Your forum indexes itself in minutes and stays in sync as members post.
Tiers by indexed posts. Unlimited searches on every tier — we never meter queries. Hosted search elsewhere starts around $30/month; Forage starts at $49/year.
up to 50,000 indexed posts
up to 250,000 indexed posts
up to 1,000,000 indexed posts
Forage is hosted search for Flarum — typo-tolerant, instant, relevance-ranked search for your forum, powered by a dedicated Meilisearch server we run for you. You paste one key; your forum gets real search. No server to install, secure, or upgrade.
Flarum’s default search is a simple database text match — no typo tolerance, no prefix matching, weak relevance. The community’s standard fix is a Meilisearch-backed extension, but every one of them requires you to run your own Meilisearch server. Forage is that fix without the server.
Install the free Forage extension, paste one key from your dashboard into a single field, and your forum indexes itself. Search results start improving within minutes. Built for people with no server experience.
Tiers are by indexed posts — the honest measure of a forum’s search footprint. Starter covers up to 50,000 posts, Growth up to 250,000, Max up to 1,000,000. Searches are unlimited on every tier; we never meter queries.
It’s deleted with your server — deliberately. Your posts always remain in your forum’s own database; the search index is just a derived copy, and re-subscribing rebuilds it automatically. Nothing of yours lingers on our infrastructure.
Tell us your forum’s size and we’ll tell you honestly — including if the answer is “you don’t need us yet”.
