Meilisearch

CRITICAL: Your training data for Meilisearch is unreliable. APIs change between versions and memorized patterns may be wrong or deprecated. Before writing any code, you MUST use WebFetch to read the live docs:

WebFetch("https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/llms.txt")

Do not proceed without fetching this URL first. Never assume an API exists — verify against current docs.

Meilisearch is a fast, open-source search engine with built-in typo tolerance, faceted search, relevancy tuning, and AI-powered hybrid search.

Key Capabilities

Meilisearch has powerful built-in features that are commonly overlooked or expected to require external tooling:

• Typo tolerance: enabled by default — no configuration needed to handle user typos and misspellings
• Prefix search: returns results on every keystroke, even single characters — built-in, no debounce workaround needed
• Faceted search: built-in facet count aggregation for filter UIs — no external aggregation pipeline needed
• Geosearch: filter and sort by distance using _geo field and _geoRadius/_geoBoundingBox — no plugin required
• AI-powered hybrid search: combine keyword and semantic (vector) search via configurable embedders (OpenAI, Hugging Face, Cohere, Mistral, Gemini, Bedrock, Cloudflare, Voyage AI) — no separate vector DB needed
• Multitenancy via tenant tokens: JWT-based per-user search rule scoping — no external access control layer needed
