Paris-based open-source search engine and hosted API — search-infrastructure product for adding instant/typo-tolerant search to apps.

Meilisearch is a search-infrastructure product published by a French company registered in Paris. It provides an open-source search engine plus a managed cloud API (Meilisearch Cloud), designed to be embedded into websites and apps as a fast, typo-tolerant instant-search box.

Developers can self-host the open-source core or use the hosted API, with SDKs for common web and mobile frameworks, focusing on fast setup, relevance tuning, and filtering/faceting.

Unlike some competitors that reincorporated their parent holding company in the United States as they scaled, Meilisearch’s registered legal entity remains in Paris.
