Meilisearch
Meilisearch is a lightweight, fast and powerful search engine. Think elastic search with a much smaller footprint.
Quickstart
the minimum to start meilisearch is
services.meilisearch.enable = true;
this will start the http server included with meilisearch on port 7700.
test with curl -X GET 'http://localhost:7700/health'
Usage
you first need to add documents to an index before you can search for documents.
Add a documents to the movies index
curl -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes/movies/documents' --data '[{"id": "123", "title": "Superman"}, {"id": 234, "title": "Batman"}]'
Search documents in the movies index
curl 'http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes/movies/search' --data '{ "q": "botman" }' (note the typo is intentional and there to demonstrate the typo tolerant capabilities)
