#2This looks really cool and I might try the self hosted option out on my small website as an upgrade from Postgres’ full text search.
I was hoping the cloud version would be more appealing, granted there seems to be a generous free tier but the next option is $1200 a month?!

Was excited to see a non-GC'ed search engine that looked solid. But, without having the replicated - distributed version of it in the "free" tier makes it hard to really evaluate.

Sorry, it might not be obvious, but you can go over the free tier and pay for the usage at 0.25$ for each 1000 searches/documents :)

their free tier looks like it has a "pay as you go" option once you exceed it that's identical to the paid option per 1K searches and 1K documents. You are basically paying for priority support, pretty common strategy and seems fair to me.
just noticed you don't get high availability on free tier which sucks, but I guess if search is mission critical to the point you need it, you would be willing to pay. Most of these database type companies start off targeting enterprise and then roll out self-serve solutions as they scale.

#7We’ve been using a Meilisearch for the last six months or so and have been delighted with its performance and usability. It uses a fraction of the resources as Elasticsearch, and the language support is extensive and very active.
That being said, our cluster is much smaller than other ones I’ve worked with in the past, so I can’t comment on its reliability at massive scale. I’ve also been very impressed with how active contributors are on GitHub and in their Discord. Everyone seems like good people, and it’s a project I’m excited to keep using.

#8Congrats to the team, it's been interesting to watch the development of Meilisearch (and it's close competitor Typesense). Algolia has really paved the way here but it's nice to see the open-source options with more configurations and better default UX.
There's also many search libraries if you want to embed search more deeply into your app. I have a list of modern search systems and libraries here: https://manigandham.com/post/search-systems-libraries

Thank you very much! I'll share your comment with the team <3

#10Is Rust that important that you have to place "built in Rust" in the title? Is this like a cult following that we only bet on traffic and interest coming from other evangelists where Rust is the only feature that matter?
4 months ago: " Meilisearch, open-source alternative to Algolia in Rust lands a $15M Series A"
It's not the first time I see, there are at least 2-3 daily submissions reaching the FP in this manner so I'm curious: "built in Rust" = marketing these days?
