docker run -p 7700:7700 getmeili/meilisearch:latestWhat it is
Meilisearch is a search engine you talk to over REST. Send it JSON documents, and it returns ranked, typo-tolerant results fast enough to update on every keystroke.
Why it stands out
It optimises for the front-of-site search box rather than log analytics. Relevance works without tuning, and a single binary with no external dependencies makes it easy to run. Recent versions add vector storage and hybrid search, combining keyword matching with semantic similarity.
The Community Edition is MIT-licensed; some enterprise features are under a separate licence.
Who it is for
Teams adding search to an app, documentation site or shop who want Algolia-like results on their own infrastructure.
