swh-search is focused on reverse indices, to allow finding objects that
match some criteria; for example full-text search.
+It is currently based on Elasticsearch, allowing full-text search on both
+URLs (using a ``search_as_you_type`` index) and on intrinsic metadata of
+their head revision in CodeMeta_ format.
+
+It is kept in sync with :ref:`the main SWH storage <swh-storage>` via
+:ref:`the SWH journal <swh-journal>`.
