Meilisearch

Overview

Meilisearch is a fast, open-source search engine designed for instant, typo-tolerant search experiences. Unlike Elasticsearch, it requires zero configuration to get started — add documents, start searching. This skill covers deployment, document indexing, search queries, faceted filtering, sorting, relevancy tuning, multi-tenancy with tenant tokens, and integration with frontend (InstantSearch) and backend (Node.js, Python) applications.

Instructions

Step 1: Installation and Deployment

# Docker: pin a version instead of "latest" so upgrades are deliberate
export MEILI_MASTER_KEY="$(openssl rand -hex 16)"   # 16+ bytes required; keep it in your secret store
docker run -d --name meilisearch \
  -p 127.0.0.1:7700:7700 \
  -v meili_data:/meili_data \
  -e MEILI_MASTER_KEY \
  -e MEILI_ENV=production \
  getmeili/meilisearch:v1.54
