Hibernate Search is a library that integrates Hibernate ORM with Apache Lucene or Elasticsearch by automatically indexing entities, enabling advanced search functionality: full-text, geospatial, aggregations and more. For more information, see Hibernate Search on hibernate.org.

We are pleased to announce the release of Hibernate Search 7.2.5.Final.

This release contains the update to Hibernate ORM 6.6.40 that brings JDK 25 support. Hibernate Search 7.2 was already tested against JDK 25.
