Boost relevance and UX with fast hybrid and semantic search
π 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! Iβm 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 Iβm 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:
π Full-text search with simple, expressive ranking rules
π§ AI-powered hybrid, semantic, and multi-modal search
β‘οΈ Sub 50ms latency, optimized for end user search
Weβre 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, weβre offering 2 months of free Meilisearch Cloud subscription. Use the β¨ "MeiliAI" β¨ coupon to get started.

Who hunted Meilisearch AI?
Meilisearch AI was hunted by Quentin de Quelen.

Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
