# Search Playground

> Compare search engines and embedders side by side

<Info>
  **Live demo**: [playground.meilisearch.com](https://playground.meilisearch.com)
</Info>

The Search Playground lets you compare semantic and hybrid search side by side. Test over 20 different embedders, measure performance, and evaluate relevancy differences across configurations.

## Key features

* **Side-by-side comparison**: Run the same query with two different configurations and compare results in real time.
* **20+ embedders**: Switch between a wide range of embedding models to compare quality and performance.
* **Performance metrics**: See response times for each configuration to understand the speed/relevancy tradeoff.
* **Search mode switching**: Compare full-text search, semantic search, and hybrid search on the same dataset.
