When it comes to search functionality in modern applications, Meilisearch stands out as a compelling alternative to more traditional solutions like Elasticsearch. Its focus on developer experience and ease of use makes it an excellent choice for projects of all sizes.
What sets Meilisearch apart is its out-of-the-box support for typo tolerance, filtering, and ranking rules. These features, combined with its blazing-fast search speeds, make it a powerful tool for creating search experiences that users will love.
The self-hosted nature of Meilisearch also means you have complete control over your data and infrastructure. While cloud solutions have their place, there's something to be said for the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of running your own search engine.
