Lightning-fast search engine with hybrid AI-powered search capabilities
Meilisearch delivers sub-50ms search results with typo tolerance, faceted filtering, and hybrid search combining semantic and full-text capabilities. RESTful API integrates seamlessly into any stack.

Meilisearch is a powerful search engine built in Rust that delivers results in under 50 milliseconds, making it ideal for search-as-you-type experiences. It combines full-text and semantic search capabilities through hybrid search, ensuring users find the most relevant results whether they're searching through millions of songs, ecommerce catalogs, or SaaS application data.
The engine works out of the box with intelligent defaults including typo tolerance, synonym support, and extensive language optimization for Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, and Latin-based languages. Developers gain fine-grained control through faceted search, custom filtering, sorting, geosearch, and multi-tenancy support. Security is handled through API keys with granular permissions, while RESTful APIs and comprehensive SDKs enable integration with any technology stack.
Available in two editions: the Community Edition (MIT licensed) provides the full core search engine for any use case, while the Enterprise Edition adds advanced features like sharding for large-scale deployments. Self-host on your infrastructure or leverage Meilisearch Cloud for managed hosting with built-in analytics and monitoring across global regions.
