    Why Meilisearch?

    The next generation of search

    Meilisearch is a flexible and powerful user-focused search engine that can be added to any website or application.

      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.

      Wow @meilisearch is an incredible piece of software. Would love to have one of the devs do a talk at @RustDublin

      We decided to use it over Elasticsearch for all these reasons, it’s not that easy to find such a great software being easy to use and developer-first. When HA (work in progress) will be released it will be enterprise-ready too ❤️
      Danilo Polani@theraloss
      100% agree! It’s mindblowing fast 🔥

      Trying Implementing full text search and still using regex & find, try @meilisearch and if seeking for some realtime search sync replica of db to meiliseach and search using filters It just works Awesome!

      Quickly made a full app search for Financial Freedom. @meilisearch is beyond powerful... (yes, that’s test data 🤓)
      Dan Pastori@danpastori
      Super impressed with @meilisearch. Spun up a VPS, installed it, imported a piece of my corpus and my goodness, the search is FAST 🤯
