    An open-source, lightning-fast, and hyper-relevant search engine that fits effortlessly into your apps, websites, and workflow.

    Lightning fast

    Search-as-you-type returns answers in less than 50 milliseconds. That's faster than the blink of an eye!

    Plug ‘n play

    Deploy in a matter of minutes. Smart presets let you start searching through your data with zero configuration.

    Flexible

    Send data to Meilisearch however you want—no need to match a schema or convert your dataset to a compatible format.

    Typo tolerant

    Everyone makes mistakes! If typos break your search experience, many users will leave thinking what they were looking for just wasn't there.

      Sounds like this might install in the LAMP App.

      Anyone try it?

        +1 to this. FreeScout just added a module to support this. Would be nice to be able to use the speed up FreeScout search.

            @LoudLemur To be fair, meili search has a different approach to search intent. It is more or less an alternative to apps like Solr, Elastic or algolia instead of Google or Bing.

                I am using their cloud-hosted version of Meilisearch for my FreeScout instance and therefore wish to have this included in my Cloudron.

                    People have started using AI for search instead of search engines.

                      @LoudLemur said in Meili Search - open-source search alternative to Algolia:

                      People have started using AI for search instead of search engines.

                      (As @luckow alluded to previously)That's irrelevant here.

                      Meilisearch isn't used for searching the web, it's used to e.g. integrate with website to search those.

                      e.g. I'm frustrated by how crappy search is on Ghost and so I'm wondering if I could integrate Meilisearch with Ghost (lots of people use Algolia for the same reason, apparently, but that's fully proprietary)

                      I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

                        Meilisearch is similar to Solr. The app has to have code to feed data to the search index. It's not meant to be used directly by an end user.

                          @girish More similar to Algolia, and designed as an alternative — a search index via an API.

                          Example use would be as a drop-in replacement for WordPress search, or any other app where the data could be fed to the index.

                              Hi, me too!
                              We use Freescout and want to host this on our Freescount VM so we keep our data in house.
