Meilisearch

March 2026 Meilisearch product update is here 🚀 → New ranking rules for finer search control → Replicated sharding → Way faster embedding indexing → Cloud UI keeps getting better See you at AWS Summit Paris on April 1st 🇫🇷 👉️ Full update: meilisearch.com/blog/March-2…

We all make typos, and your shoppers do too. If someone types “Toni Morisson” and your store can’t find Toni Morrison’s books, that’s a sale you didn’t need to lose. We wrote a guide to getting store search right before adding anything fancy: meilisearch.com/blog/product…

New in October: filters up to 10x faster on big catalogs, better embedder handling, an IP allowlist add-on for Cloud, and a Drupal module (alpha). meilisearch.com/blog/october…

Meilisearch v1.56 is out, with two upgrades: Faster filters: new 'sampledCount' sorted facets find your top filter values up to 10x faster. Smoother indexing: when your embedder is slow or down, small updates still go through and big jobs stop early. github.com/meilisearch/meili…

RAG and MCP get mixed up all the time. RAG helps the model find the right info before it answers. MCP lets an AI app use outside tools, like your order system. Most real apps end up using both. more here: meilisearch.com/blog/rag-vs-…

Our September newsletter is out, starting with @Quentin_dQ IBC2026 talk: AI-powered search, discovery, and recommendations from one index, on real media catalogs. Plus, what we shipped during this busy summer: MCP, search rules boosts, and faster search. meilisearch.com/blog/septemb…

Someone might search "something to keep coffee hot on my commute" when your product page says: "insulated travel mug." Semantic search makes that connection. For exact SKUs, full-text search is the better fit. Full comparison on our blog: meilisearch.com/blog/full-te…

Already running Meilisearch and search feels slow? New blog helps to diagnose why. Performance trace in Search preview breaks a query into stages, and each stage points at something specific – filters, searchable attributes, response size. meilisearch.com/blog/diagnos…

Until now, disk performance was something you had to infer. Indexing felt slow, search felt less responsive, and you worked backward from there. Two new charts on the Infrastructure tab show your reads and writes per second, as well as how much data is moving relative to your current limit. When you need more, you can upgrade it yourself from the same screen.

Semantic and hybrid search used to mean wiring up your own embedding setup before you could even begin to test the idea. Our new AI Embedders page lets you connect OpenAI, Voyage AI, Cohere, Mistral, Gemini, Cloudflare or Ollama from any index. Prototype in minutes, keep the same setup in production. Open any index in your project to get started. Learn more about hybrid and semantic search: meilisearch.com/docs/capabil…

Traditional RAG makes your LLM a passive summarizer at the end of an assembly line. You pick what to retrieve and when to stop. Agentic search hands it the search tools and lets it decide. @StriftCodes shows how to build it in TypeScript using the new Meilisearch AI SDK and the Vercel AI SDK: meilisearch.com/blog/agentic…

Moving off OpenSearch? We compared 10 alternatives on features, pricing, and real user reviews: Meilisearch, Algolia, Bloomreach, Vespa, Typesense and more. Why teams switch, and how to pick the right one: meilisearch.com/blog/opensea…

AI search, discovery, and recommendations from one index: our CEO and cofounder @Quentin_dQ will take a stage on #IBC2026, next Fri 11 Sept, 15:45 📍 Future Tech Stage, Hall 14, RAI Amsterdam We are at the stand 14.D53 all week - come by!

Search doesn't have to feel like infrastructure archaeology. With Lucene you build faceting, typo tolerance, and ranking manually. We compared 10 alternatives on features, pricing, and integrations. meilisearch.com/blog/lucene-…

Meilisearch x @NangoHQ integration is now available, one of the 900+ APIs in Nango's catalog. Each instance becomes a connection holding its URL and API key. Call the Meilisearch API through Nango's proxy, or pull the credentials and call it yourself. Cloud or self-hosted. nango.dev/docs/api-integrati…

Meilisearch v1.53 is here 📣 Foreign filters (experimental) now work on sharded setups. Filter one index using data from another – even when your data lives on multiple machines. Bonus: each foreign filter can now retrieve up to 1,000 documents, 10x the previous limit. Release notes: github.com/meilisearch/meili…
