Its main selling point is &ldquo;it just works&rdquo;: setup takes minutes, and search results are relevant without fine-tuning ranking.</p> <h2 id="why-meilisearch">Why Meilisearch</h2> <p>Most search solutions (Elasticsearch, Solr) require serious configuration and administration. Meilisearch took a different path:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Instant search</strong> (search-as-you-type) — results appear on the first keystroke</li> <li><strong>Typo tolerance</strong> — &ldquo;kat&rdquo; finds &ldquo;cat&rdquo; without additional configuration</li> <li><strong>Filters and facets</strong> — all through the REST API</li> <li><strong>Relevance sorting</strong> — customizable ranking rules</li> <li><strong>Excellent documentation</strong> — interactive examples, SDKs for all popular languages</li> </ul> <h2 id="technical-details">Technical Details</h2> <p>Meilisearch runs as a separate service. Data indexing is done via the REST API: you send JSON documents, and you get a search index. Under the hood — a custom engine in Rust, delivering speed and low memory consumption.</p>
