### RUM indexing for full text search
!!! warning
It is recommended to use PostgreSQL v11 or newer. We have seen some minor issues with lower PostgreSQL versions.
* `rum_enabled`: If RUM indexes should be used. Defaults to `false`.
RUM indexes are an alternative indexing scheme that is not included in PostgreSQL by default. While they may eventually be mainlined, for now they have to be installed as a PostgreSQL extension from https://github.com/postgrespro/rum.

Their advantage over the standard GIN indexes is that they allow efficient ordering of search results by timestamp, which makes search queries a lot faster on larger servers, by one or two orders of magnitude. They take up around 3 times as much space as GIN indexes.

To enable them, both the `rum_enabled` flag has to be set and the following special migration has to be run:
`mix ecto.migrate --migrations-path priv/repo/optional_migrations/rum_indexing/`
* Source install:
- Stop Pleroma
- `mix ecto.migrate --migrations-path priv/repo/optional_migrations/rum_indexing/`
* OTP install:
- Stop Pleroma
- `pleroma_ctl migrate --migrations-path priv/repo/optional_migrations/rum_indexing/`
This will probably take a long time.
!!! note
It is recommended to `VACUUM FULL` the objects table after the migration has completed, to do that run:
```
# sudo -Hu postgres vacuumdb --full --analyze -t objects <pleroma DB name>
```
Now you can start Pleroma back up.
