# Querqy

Querqy is a community plugin for query rewriting that helps to solve relevance issues, making search engines more precise regarding matching and scoring.

## Querqy plugin installation

The Querqy plugin is now available for OpenSearch 2.3.0. Run the following command to install the Querqy plugin.

````bash
./bin/opensearch-plugin install \
   "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/querqy/opensearch-querqy/1.0.os2.3.0/opensearch-querqy-1.0.os2.3.0.zip"
````

Answer `yes` to the security prompts during the installation as Querqy requires additional permissions to load query rewriters.
