The SEAL project is a PHP library designed to simplify the process of interacting with different search engines. It provides a straightforward interface that enables users to communicate with various search engines, including:
- Elasticsearch
- Opensearch
- Meilisearch
- Algolia
- Loupe

It also provides integration packages for the
Symfony, Laravel, Spiral, Mezzio and Yii PHP frameworks.
It is worth noting that the project draws inspiration from the
Doctrine and Flysystem projects. These two projects have been a great inspiration
in the development of SEAL, as they provide excellent examples of how to create consistent
and user-friendly APIs for complex systems.
Note: This project is heavily under development and any feedback is greatly appreciated.
SEAL's provides a basic abstraction layer for add, remove and search and filters for documents.
The main class and service handling this is called Engine, which is responsible for all this things.
The Schema which is required defines the different Indexes and their Fields.
The project provides different Adapters which the Engine uses to communicate with the different Search Engine software and services.
This way it is easy to switch between different search engine software and services.
