Meilisearch

Meilisearch is an open-source search engine that's designed to be fast and hyper-relevant. It's designed to fit into any website or app, providing a search experience that's tailored to the user. Meilisearch features include search-as-you-type, results in less than 50 milliseconds, and a plug-and-play installation with smart presets that need no initial configuration.

Meilisearch supports integrations like filters to refine search, language detection and custom relevancy. It also comes with security options like API keys and tenant tokens that let you restrict who can search what. It's got geo-search abilities, too, so it's ready for the real world.

Developers will like Meilisearch's self-documenting API and SDKs that let them get to work quickly. The project has a helpful, fast-growing community of contributors, users and people asking questions.
