+title: Full-text Search HTTP API
+
+Ponzu provides a read-only HTTP API to search the contents of your system's database. 
+Full-text search is made possible by the use of [Bleve](http://blevesearch.com), 
+which handles the indexing and querying. 
+
+---
+
+### Endpoints
+
+#### Search Content
+
+<kbd>GET</kbd> `/api/search?type=<Type>&q=<Query String>`
+
+!!! warning "Search must be enabled individually for each Content type"
+    - Search is not on by default to protect your data in case it shouldn't be indexed and published via the API.
+    - `SearchMapping()` is implemented with default mapping (ideal for 99% of use cases). 
+    - To enable search, add a `IndexContent() bool` method to your content type and return `true` (default implementation returns false).
+
+- `<Type>` must implement [db.Searchable](/Interfaces/Search/#searchsearchable)
+
+- Search is currently limited to single `<Type>` per request
+
+- `<Query String>` documentation here: [Bleve Docs - Query String](http://www.blevesearch.com/docs/Query-String-Query/)
+
+- Search results are formatted exactly the same as standard Content API calls, so you don't need to change your client data model  
+
+- Search handler will respect other interface implementations on your content, including: 
+    - [`item.Hideable`](https://godoc.org/github.com/ponzu-cms/ponzu/system/item#Hideable)
+    - [`item.Omittable`](https://godoc.org/github.com/ponzu-cms/ponzu/system/item#Omittable) 
+    - [`item.Pushable`](https://godoc.org/github.com/ponzu-cms/ponzu/system/item#Pushable) _(Note: only the first search result will be pushed)_
