Meilisearch Connect

Build Meilisearch indexes from any Craft element query, keep them current as content changes, and rebuild them with zero downtime, on a server you can host yourself to keep search costs down.

Search with no usage fees

Stop overpaying for search. Meilisearch Connect keeps a self-hosted Meilisearch index in sync with your Craft site, so search costs what your server costs.

Use Meilisearch Connect to

  • Create a fast search experience for users

  • Reduce costs for clients

  • Make it easier to change search settings

  • Search that stays current

    Indexes update as entries and products change, without a nightly job.

  • Index what you choose

    Pick the sections, product types, and fields that belong in each index.

  • No usage fees

    Meilisearch is open source and self-hosted, so the bill is your server.

  • Typo tolerant

    Shoppers find the product when they spell it the way they say it.

  • Faceted results

    Filter by the attributes you index, and sort on the ones that matter.

  • Query from Twig

    Build the results page in your own templates.

Common questions.

How does Meilisearch compare to other solutions, like Algolia?

Like many Craft developers, we value self-hosted solutions and transparency. We’ve found that Meilisearch is a capable, cost-effective alternative to services like Algolia. We built Meilisearch Connect so we and other Craft developers can run Meilisearch from Craft CMS.

We’re happy to help.

If you’re experiencing an issue, you can submit it on GitHub.

We can take it from here.

We take on the Craft and Craft Commerce sites you built, so you can get back to building. Introduce a client who signs a management contract and you get a $3K partnership fee.
