Meilisearch›Meilisearch› offers Search API

Meilisearch began in 2018 as an open-source search engine released by a Paris-based team and distributed as a single binary exposing a REST search API. Developers adopted it as a lightweight alternative to established search infrastructure because it returned typo-tolerant results instantly with little or no configuration.

The offering has since grown from keyword search into a unified retrieval platform, adding vector and hybrid search, filtering, faceting and geosearch, federated and multimodal retrieval, and retrieval-augmented conversational interfaces, and it is available both self-hosted and through the provider's managed cloud service.
