Basic Usage

Searches for documents containing a phrase, with slop allowing for some flexibility in term proximity. The field must be indexed with a record of position.

SELECT * FROM search_idx.search(
	query => paradedb.phrase(
		field => 'description',
		phrases => ARRAY['robot', 'building', 'kit']
	)
);
field
required

Specifies the field within the document to search for the term.

phrases
required

An ARRAY of words that form the search phrase. These words must appear in the specified order within the document for a match to occur, although some flexibility is allowed based on the slop parameter.

slop
default: 0

A slop of 0 requires the terms to appear exactly as they are in the phrase and adjacent to each other. Higher slop values allow for more distance and flexibility between the terms, accommodating variations in the phrase’s structure within the document.
