Your monthly recap of everything Meilisearch. September 2025 edition.
Here's a recap of everything that happened this month!
đŹ New and improved Geosearch
We introduced a new geo backend to store geojson and filter on polygon in v1.22.0 đŠâđ„
This make the _geojson field filterable, when mean you can then send your documents with a _geojson field filled with a valid geojson
You can also filter your documents with the new _geoPolygon filter - meaning you ** draw any polgyon** and get instant search!
Improved vector storage
We Introduced a new vector store backend for better performance, especially if using the binary quantization. You need to enable the new vectorStoreSetting experimental feature and change the vectorSetting index setting to "experimental" for the indexes where you want to try the new vector store!
This should give you much more improved performance!
