Next generation search API
An open source, blazingly fast and hyper relevant search-engine that will improve your search experience.
A complete experience
For developers
SCALABLE, MAINTAINABLE, CUSTOMIZABLE
MeiliSearch provides an extensive toolset for customization. Unlike with other search engines, these customization options are just that: optional.
It works out-of-the-box with a preset that easily answers the needs of most applications.
Communication is done with a RESTful API because most developers are already familiar with its norms.
For users
BLAZING FAST, RELEVANT, TYPO TOLERANT
The search experience feels simple and intuitive.
It’s all too common for search bars to make users feel like they have to learn a new language just to get the best results - or worse, that they have to jump back and forth between their search and Google just to get the right spelling or product UID.
MeiliSearch makes searching simple and responsive, so the user can stay focused on the results.

Our mission
Efficient search engines are often only accessible to companies with the financial means and resources necessary to develop a search solution adapted to their needs. The majority of other companies that do not have the means or do not realize that the lack of relevance of a search greatly impacts the pleasure of navigation on their application, end up with poor solutions that are more frustrating than effective, for both the developer and the user.
That's why we created MeiliSearch, an open-source solution accessible to everyone, meeting the vast majority of needs, even specific ones. Installable very easily with little or no configuration required but with a high capacity for customization.
Highly Customizable
Synonyms
Ability to create synonyms for a better search experience.
Highlight
With highlight, users understand their search results and act upon it.
Stop Words
Stop-words allow you to ignore certain words in the relevance of your search.
Filters
Improve your search query by adding custom filters.
Custom Relevancy
Custom relevancy rules give you the possibility to add new sorting rules. You can order results by date, likes, whatever suits your dataset.
Faceting
Empower users to drill down on search results and find what they need faster.
Developer first
Developers know HTTP, and that is why MeiliSearch's API is a standard RESTful HTTP API.
MeiliSearch comes with different SDKs for easier integrations. New SDKs will be added continuously!

import { MeiliSearch } from 'meilisearch'
const client = new MeiliSearch({
host: 'http://127.0.0.1:7700',
apiKey: 'masterKey',
})
// An index is where the documents are stored.
const index = client.index('movies')
const documents = [
{ id: 1, title: 'Carol' },
{ id: 2, title: 'Wonder Woman' },
{ id: 3, title: 'Life of Pi' },
{ id: 4, title: 'Mad Max: Fury Road' },
{ id: 5, title: 'Moana' },
{ id: 6, title: 'Philadelphia' },
]
// If the index 'movies' does not exist,
// MeiliSearch creates it when you first add the documents.
await index.addDocuments(documents) // => { "updateId": 0 }
// Then, you can start searching
const { hits } = index.search('pholadelphio')
// This search will output Philadelphia
