The riak_search OTP application provides
https://github.com/basho/riak with the capability to act as a text
search engine similar to Apache’s Lucene. Previously Riak Search was
a release in it’s own right. Since then Basho has decided it would be
easier for our users if Search was simply a set of functionality that
can be enabled via a config option. For that reason, if you want to
use Search you’ll have to build a Riak release and enable it.
In order to enable the riak_search app in your Riak cluster you have
to modify the etc/app.config file. Search for the text
riak_search and then change {enabled, false} to {enabled, true}.
The Search portion of your app.config will look something like this.
{riak_search, [
{enabled, true},
]},
