    +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.
