Orion Platform#
DOCUMENTATION https://orion-search.readthedocs.io
Orion Platform is a comprehensive, web-based solution that combines the functionality of a browser, search engine, crawler, and data aggregation tools to empower OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) experts. Built on top of Docker, Orion provides a user-friendly interface to explore, search, and visualize data extracted by its powerful Orion Crawler.
The platform integrates seamlessly with machine learning models, enhancing search relevance and enabling advanced
content analysis. Orion supports a broad range of functionalities, including the ability to search, filter, and
visualize data across multiple categories, making it an invaluable tool for data exploration and intelligence
gathering.
Designed with flexibility and scalability in mind, Orion enables OSINT experts to feed data directly into the platform,
ensuring up-to-date and comprehensive datasets. Whether for investigative research, competitive analysis, or general
information gathering, Orion provides a unified ecosystem that enhances the workflow of professionals who rely on
actionable insights.
Platform Preview#
The Orion homepage provides a search-first investigation workspace with summary panels, recent findings, and visual pivots that help analysts move quickly from overview to deeper investigation.
Getting Started#
Authorization required: documentation access does not grant permission to run or deploy this module. The complete platform requires the other necessary Orion modules and services; see License.
To explore the platform and project materials quickly:
Open the documentation: https://orion-search.readthedocs.io
Review the main platform repository: https://github.com/Orion-Intelligence/Orion-Intelligence

Core Capabilities#
Orion is built as an operational intelligence environment rather than a single search page. At a project level, the platform is centered around:
collection and ingestion from multiple sources
processing, normalization, and enrichment of collected data
indexing and retrieval for large investigative datasets
analyst-facing search, filtering, and correlation workflows
modular services that allow the ecosystem to expand as new investigative needs emerge
Who It’s For#
Orion is intended for teams and individuals who need a unified investigation environment, including OSINT analysts, research teams, cyber threat investigators, and operators who work across collection, search, enrichment, and review workflows.
Orion Ecosystem#
The Orion ecosystem is composed of multiple connected repositories that together support the full intelligence lifecycle. Some modules focus on collection, some on storage or microservices, some on presentation and analyst experience, and others on specialized workflows such as browser-assisted acquisition or social-data handling.
At a high level, the project operates as a connected flow:
Collection -> Processing -> Orion Platform -> Access
Technology Stack#
The Orion platform is built using various technologies to provide optimal search capabilities and data handling. Below is the list of libraries and frameworks used:

Contribution#
Contributions require prior written authorization and agreed contribution terms. Contact the project maintainers through the collaboration page before starting work. Public visibility or submitting a proposal does not grant permission to use, modify, or distribute the software beyond the rights preserved in the license.
Steps to Contribute#
Describe the proposed contribution through the collaboration page without including proprietary code or sensitive information.
Obtain a written agreement covering the permitted work and rights in the contribution.
Follow the development and submission workflow authorized in that agreement.
License#
Proprietary — all rights reserved. This repository exposes one module of the Orion platform; it is not the complete platform. Full operation requires all other necessary Orion modules, services, data sources, configuration, credentials, and authorizations supplied or obtained separately.
Public visibility does not grant permission for private, personal, internal-business, commercial, noncommercial, research, or evaluation use. Installation, execution, modification, redistribution, mirroring, resale, and hosted or white-label offerings require a separate written agreement signed by the Rights Holder. This is not an open-source license.
The proprietary license terms preserve applicable GitHub platform permissions, non-waivable legal rights, third-party licenses, and rights validly granted for earlier copies. Those exceptions are not a general permission to use or redistribute this module.
