# Meilisearch v1.22 release notes

> Released September 24, 2025

## New Features

### Geojson Filtering Support

A new geo backend has been introduced to store and filter geojson data. You can now:

1. Make the `_geojson` field filterable in your index settings
2. Send documents with a `_geojson` field containing valid [geojson](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7946)
3. Filter your documents using the new `_geoPolygon` filter, or continue using the existing `_geoBoundingBox` and `_geoPoints` filters

## Improvements

### Remote Federated Search Timeout Configuration

The timeout for remote federated search has been made configurable. Previously set to a fixed 30 seconds, you can now customize this value by setting the `MEILI_EXPERIMENTAL_REMOTE_SEARCH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS` environment variable to a positive integer. This allows you to better accommodate different search configurations and network conditions.

Note: This configuration is only available via environment variable; no CLI flag or configuration file entry is available at this time.
