It bridges the gap between SQLAlchemy's abstraction and PostgreSQL's powerful search capabilities, avoiding the need for separate search infrastructure for many use cases.\n\nThe package works by decorating your model classes and fields, then providing search methods that compile down to PostgreSQL fulltext queries. It requires PostgreSQL and depends on sqlalchemy and sqlalchemy-utils. Search is performed at the database level, making it efficient for large datasets, though it is limited to PostgreSQL and cannot be used with other database backends.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are using SQLAlchemy with PostgreSQL and need fulltext search without external infrastructure. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. Not suitable if you use a different database backend or need advanced search features beyond PostgreSQL's native capabilities."},"id":"sqlalchemy-searchable","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-searchable","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-searchable.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sqlalchemy-searchable/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-02-16","license_spdx":"BSD-3-Clause","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sqlalchemy-searchable","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Provides fulltext search capabilities for declarative SQLAlchemy models."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":103774,"position":12785,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.0.0"}
