Your first query.
Start the engine, create a table, insert a document, search it. About a minute, nothing else to install.
terminal
# Start a local single-node engine
antfly standalone
# Create a table (a full-text index comes with it)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/db/v1/tables/knowledge \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{}'
# Insert a document
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/db/v1/tables/knowledge/batch \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"inserts": {"doc-1": {
"content": "Antfly keeps the retrieval pipeline inside the engine."
}}, "sync_level": "full_text"}'
# Query it
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/db/v1/query \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"table": "knowledge",
"full_text_search": {"query": "content:pipeline"},
"fields": ["content"], "limit": 5}'From here the quickstart loads a real dataset and adds semantic search, reranking, and image search, with the models pulled and run by the engine itself.

SearchAF
macOS app · free
Not a database. SearchAF is a desktop app we built on Antfly: point it at a few folders and search your PDFs, screenshots, and documents by what they say. It runs the engine for you, on your machine, and nothing leaves it.
