# Meilisearch v1.24 release notes

> Released October 20, 2025

## New Features

### Search Metadata Header

A new `Meili-Include-Metadata` header is now available on search requests. When included, the response will contain a metadata field with information about each query, including a unique identifier (uid), the `indexUid`, and the index's primary key.

## Improvements

### Vector Store Search Cutoff

Improved the interaction between the vector store and the `searchCutoffMs` parameter when using the `"vectorStore": "experimental"` index setting. This provides better control over search performance and timeout behavior when working with vector-based searches.

### Compaction Behavior

Enhanced compaction interactions with task cancellation, resulting in more reliable behavior when managing background indexing tasks.
