Hey PSeitz, Meilisearch CEO here. Sorry to hear that you failed to index a low volume of data. When did you last try Meilisearch? We have made significant improvements in the indexing speed. We have a customer with hundreds of gigabytes of raw data on our cloud, and it scales amazingly well. https://x.com/Kerollmops/status/1772575242885484864

Frankly, I'm okay with Meillisearch for instant search because y'all are clear about analytics choices, offer understandable FOSS Rust, and have a non-AGPL license. If/when we make some money, I'm in favor of $upporting and consulting of tools used to keep them alive out of self-interest.

> Are LLM tools better or worse than e.g. meilisearch or elasticsearch for searching with snippets over a set of document resources?

Absolutely worse, LLM are not made for it at all.

Thanks for the highlight!

Do you handle high throughput volumes? I would need this for testing to host a database service at scale.

Did you only get the schema.json?

Hey, I'm the CEO of Meilisearch. If your issue is performance, I would love to give you a try with Meilisearch. You'll be able to create an "as you type" experience with our engine that responds in less than 50ms!

Thanks @CaroFG, I'm sure that if anyone has questions, the engineering team would love to answer!

Hello, I'm the Meilisearch CEO. I think you're also correct, Jabo.

I just want to clarify. Meilisearch's pricing doesn't start at 1.2K/month, but at 0/month. We have a usage-based pricing that is basically 0.25/1000 documents and searches. And, funny thing, we are thinking about splitting the searches and documents, too, but we wanted to have more data to be sure to select the right unit price for each. :)

Sorry, this fine print so fine printed that I could not even see it.

You are correct. For < 1k documents it should be included on the hosted list.

Also, please really split documents and search request. In a real life scenario there will be 100k documents stored and only the top 1% will be searched for.

The one thing that always held us back from further investigating your product was searching in facets which was on the roadmap back then and imho crucial to any serious search ui. No idea if you implemented it now.

Make the web faster with Rust.

Hey muhammadusman, I'm the Meilisearch's CEO. We have a complete comparison table. Note that it represents our point of view. https://docs.meilisearch.com/learn/what_is_meilisearch/compa...

Both Meilisearch and Typesense are really different regarding resource consumption and performance. I would say that where Typesense would have a better indexing performance (Meilisearch has recently improved indexation speed), Meilisearch will guarantee a much faster search performance while keeping impressive relevancy. Regarding the consumption, as Typesense is entirely on RAM and Meilisearch is using memory mapping, Meilisearch would take more disk space but less RAM.
