  • Install elasticsearch 7.x.x

    No special config is necessary. We'll use the default port 9200

  • Setup lila-search:

    git clone https://github.com/lichess-org/lila-search
    cd lila-search
    sbt app/run
    
  • Add the following line to lila/conf/application.conf:

    search.enabled = true
    
  • Either use spamdb to add and automatically index games, posts, and teams:

    spamdb/spamdb.py --es   
    

    --es connects spamdb to elasticsearch (at localhost:9200) and indexes your database. You're done, you can skip the rest.

  • Or create indices manually (games will only be indexed on completion or computer analysis):

    • Before playing / analyzing any games on lila, you must do this:

      curl -XPOST http://localhost:9673/mapping/game
      
    • Now you can startup lila, login as the lichess user, go to http://localhost:9663/dev/cli, and run these commands:

      forum search reset
      team search reset
      study search reset
      

You should now be able to search.
