MeiliSearch Adapter

Connects to MeiliSearch — a modern, developer-friendly search engine with instant, typo-tolerant search out of the box. No extra dependencies beyond httpx are required.

Configuration

search:
  adapters:
    meilisearch:
      enabled: true
      hosts: ["http://localhost:7700"]

index_pattern	str	"documents"	Index UID
api_key	str	None	Master key or API key
timeout	float	30.0	HTTP request timeout (seconds)

Search Behavior

• Uses the /indexes/{index}/search REST endpoint
• Highlighting and cropping enabled by default
• Ranking score included via showRankingScore
• Recency filtering via numeric timestamp filters

Features

• Typo tolerance — MeiliSearch handles typos automatically
• Instant search — Sub-50ms response times
