Is Vellumine a Ghost plugin or a search platform?

Vellumine installs like a Ghost search plugin, but it works like a managed search and analytics platform: it syncs your Ghost content, builds a hosted search index, serves the search UI, and reports anonymous reader search behavior.

Does Vellumine work with Ghost(Pro) and self-hosted Ghost?

Yes. Vellumine works with Ghost(Pro), self-hosted Ghost, and third-party Ghost hosting providers as long as the Ghost Admin API is reachable.

Can I try it on a real Ghost blog?

Yes. The Vellumine product blog is a real Ghost publication using the Vellumine drop-in search script, and the demo site shows a dedicated interactive example.

Ghost CMS full-text search for serious publishers

Vellumine replaces Ghost's native search with a managed full-text search experience that indexes the actual content your readers care about, not just surface-level metadata.

Vellumine full-text search results on a Ghost CMS blog

Built for how readers search

Readers rarely remember exact titles. Vellumine helps them find posts by the ideas, phrases, names, and details buried inside your content.

Search full post content
Index posts, pages, authors, and tags so older or deeply relevant content becomes discoverable again.
Forgive typos
Typo tolerance keeps searches useful when readers misspell words, names, or technical terms.
Match meaning
Semantic search can find relevant articles even when a reader uses different wording than the post title.

Managed search without a rebuild

Vellumine handles the index, the hosted UI, and content syncing while still fitting into Ghost with a single script tag.

Automatic syncing
Keep the search index aligned with your Ghost content as posts and pages change.
Drop-in search UI
Replace Ghost's native search bar without rebuilding your theme or maintaining custom search infrastructure.
Publisher analytics
See what readers search for, where searches fail, and which results they click.
