Everything your knowledge base needs

From document ingestion to access control, every feature is designed to help teams find answers faster.

Document indexing

Index Markdown, HTML, PDFs, and rich text. Nested docs and metadata, no performance loss.

Semantic search

Combines full-text and vector search so users find content by meaning, not just keywords.

Hierarchical results

Organize by category or type. Facets help users drill down with full context.

Highlighting

Highlight matching terms and phrases in excerpts so users scan and find answers faster.

Access control

Tenant tokens enforce team and role permissions. One index, no leaks, no extra setup.

Search analytics

Track what employees search and where they find no results. Spot gaps to prioritize content.

Built for every knowledge base

From internal wikis to customer-facing help centers, Meilisearch powers search wherever your team stores knowledge.

Internal wiki

Surface relevant pages across Confluence, Notion, or custom wikis. Employees find institutional knowledge without asking colleagues.

Frequently asked questions

Meilisearch indexes any content you can extract as JSON. For PDFs and Office documents, use a pre-processing step to extract text. Tools like Apache Tika, pdf-parse, or cloud-based parsers work well. Once extracted, Meilisearch indexes the content instantly and makes it searchable with typo tolerance, filters, and highlighting.
