Meilisearch is an open-source search engine optimized for speed and UX (sub-100ms latency, typo tolerance, relevance tuning). You index documents, configure ranking rules, and build search interfaces. Used by 10K+ companies for product search, marketplace discovery, and documentation. Senior practitioners earn 110-165k USD. Mastery takes 4-6 weeks. It's simpler than Elasticsearch but more flexible than basic database queries. Growing 30% YoY as an alternative to ES for teams prioritizing developer experience over scale.

Vad är Meilisearch Full Text

Meilisearch is a fast, user-friendly search engine for indexing and querying documents. You send documents (products, posts, jobs) to Meilisearch, configure what fields are searchable and how they rank, then query via REST API. Meilisearch returns results in <100ms with built-in features: typo tolerance, prefix matching, filtering, faceting, and custom ranking. Unlike Elasticsearch (powerful but complex), Meilisearch prioritizes simplicity and speed. Unlike basic database full-text search, Meilisearch has advanced ranking and UX features out of the box.

❓ Vanliga frågor

How does Meilisearch compare to Elasticsearch?
Elasticsearch is more powerful (complex queries, analytics) but slower to setup and optimize. Meilisearch is simpler (days to production), faster for typical search (100-200ms vs 500ms+), but scales to fewer documents (~100M vs billions). For product search and UX-focused use cases, Meilisearch wins.
What's the maximum number of documents Meilisearch can handle?
~100M documents on a single server, depending on document size. Scales to billions with sharding (custom setup). For 95% of use cases, single Meilisearch instance is enough.
Does Meilisearch handle typos?
Yes, built-in typo tolerance. Configure max typos (1-2) per word. 'Seach' → 'Search', 'elbowmacaroni' → 'elbow macaroni' (tokenization). Tunable per deployment.
How do I rank results by relevance?
Meilisearch uses ranking rules: exact match > prefix match > typo count > custom attributes. You reorder rules via API. Example: Rank by exactness first, then by popularity (custom field). Highly tunable.
Can I make certain results rank higher than others?
Yes, two ways: (1) Ranking rules with custom attributes (price, popularity, rating). (2) Searchable attributes reordering (title > description > body). Products title 'Gaming' ranks higher than 'gaming in reviews'.
