🚀 Meilisearch is a superfast search engine for developers built in Rust. Our latest release introduces AI-powered semantic and hybrid search, blending full-text, semantic, and vector DB capabilities for smarter, faster results.
Hey ProductHunt! I’m Quentin, one of the founders of the open-source search engine Meilisearch. Our goal is to make it easy for developers to ship good search UX, so I’m excited to launch Meilisearch AI today with the builders community here.
Meilisearch started when I was working in ecommerce and felt like the search options were either heavyweight like Elasticsearch or paid solutions with opaque pricing. We thought there was room for something transparent and dev-friendly that just works for most search use cases out of the box. Meilisearch AI is another step in this direction.
Our key features are:
🔎 Full-text search with simple, expressive ranking rules
🧠 AI-powered hybrid, semantic, and multi-modal search
⚡️ Sub 50ms latency, optimized for end user search
We’re excited to stabilize AI-powered search to allow developers to integrate fast and relevant search, retrieval-augmented generation, and recommendations in their apps. Building upon a year of open-source beta, our managed offer comes with the scalability, security, and monitoring you need to stay focused on building, not managing infrastructure.
For the occasion, we’re offering 2 months of free Meilisearch Cloud subscription. Use the ✨ "MeiliAI" ✨ coupon to get started.
A fast and accurate search relevance while keeping it fast and lightweight, that's a big win for developers.
Everything looks so good here, cannot wait to check all with your team! I will definitely try this in my daily work
A search engine built with Rust sounds incredibly promising, especially when it comes to performance and speed! The semantic search feature is a game-changer, providing more intuitive and relevant results. Excited to see how this tool evolves and how it can enhance the search experience!
Best wishes for Melisearch team.
We built @ThriveDesk search and AI features on top of Melisearch platform and we 100% satisfied with it.
Amazing launch@quentin_dq and Meilisearch team, congrats! Your search engine speed is crucial to our growth at Agora.
Amazing to see the product going to the next level!
Congratulations on the launch @quentin_dq and the entire team!
We've been using Meilisearch AI at Agora for a few months now. It's the fastest search solution on the market hands down. Excited to see the team take the product to the next level with this GA release 🚀
Great job on launching Meilisearch AI! The hybrid and semantic search features are a huge step forward. Can’t wait to see how developers use it!
Awesome product that we use to power up @WP Umbrella. Congrats to the team for their great work!
Congratulation on the launch of the product 🎊, the demo is absolutely amazing. I love how thoughtful the team is in allowing user to define their own text temple for the embedding.
I have several questions:
Is there any plan to give the query a template too?
AFAIK, the maximum number of query words is 10 (link). Is this still enforced for AI search?
Would you mind sharing some tricks on how the team achieved search-as-you-type performance even with AI search?
I am looking forward to your response 🙌
We’re thrilled to see Meilisearch AI finally launch! The combination of full-text, semantic, and vector search capabilities offers developers a seamless and fast search solution. Exciting times ahead for building smarter search experiences!
Meilisearch sounds like a great solution for developers looking for fast and simple search integration! How flexible are the ranking rules, and can they be adjusted easily as the app evolves?
Good luck with the launch. How does Meilisearch's hybrid search functionality effectively combine full-text and vector search methodologies to enhance result relevance?
Can’t wait to see how fast this works! And by the way, your UI looks awesome — I really like it. Congrats on the launch !🎉
@quentin_dq@carolina_ferreira2@maya_shin2@gmourier I’ve always admired Meilisearch for bringing developer-first simplicity to full-text search, and it’s great to see you now tackling AI-powered semantic and hybrid search with the same ethos.
Also, love that you’re keeping latency under 50ms 🔥 — speed + semantic relevance is still a rare combo in this space.
Excited to try it out — and that MeiliAI coupon is a nice bonus for devs who want to explore! 🚀
