# Getting Started


# Creating a Store

To store and search documents, first create a [DuckDBStore](../reference/DuckDBStore.md#gdtest_interlinks.DuckDBStore) instance:

``` python
from gdtest_interlinks import DuckDBStore
store = DuckDBStore("my-store")
```


# Checking the Base Interface

Every store implements the [BaseStore](../reference/BaseStore.md#gdtest_interlinks.BaseStore) interface:

``` python
isinstance(store, BaseStore)
```


# Running Queries

Call [query()](../reference/query.md#gdtest_interlinks.query) to search:

``` python
results = query(store, "hello")
```

See the [API Reference](../reference/index.md) for full details.
