Improvements
New settings indexer supports searchable and exact attributes
The improved settings indexer now handles changes tosearchableAttributes, exactAttributes, proximityPrecision, and embedders settings. This indexer provides better scalability, near-instant cancellations, and displays indexing progress.
The new indexer is enabled automatically when a settings batch contains only changes to these fields. Any other settings changes will use the legacy indexer. For OSS users, you can disable the new settings indexer by setting the MEILI_EXPERIMENTAL_NO_EDITION_2024_FOR_SETTINGS environment variable to true.
New vector store enabled by default for new indexes
Starting with v1.29.0, newly created indexes will automatically use the improved vector store backend introduced in v1.21.0, which provides better performance and relevancy. Existing indexes remain unchanged and continue using their current backend.Additional HuggingFace embedder models supported
ThehuggingFace embedder now supports models with XLM Roberta architecture, giving you more options for local CPU and GPU-based embeddings.
