Define searchable attributes
----------------------------

To speed up indexing, review the [searchable attributes](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/learn/configuration/displayed_searchable_attributes#searchable-fields) list and ensure it includes only the fields you want to be checked for query word matches. This improves relevance and search speed by eliminating irrelevant data and preventing unnecessary database growth.

Utilize filterable and sortable attributes
------------------------------------------

Some fields may not contain text but can still be vital for [filtering](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/learn/fine_tuning_results/filtering) and [sorting](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/learn/fine_tuning_results/sorting) results. Evaluate if numeric and boolean field values can be part of the filterable or sortable attributes lists.

Review ranking rules
--------------------

Modifying [ranking rules](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/learn/core_concepts/relevancy#ranking-rules) may trigger a reindexing process. Consider the impact and plan accordingly.

Optimize document size
----------------------

Smaller documents are processed faster. Compress your data using methods such as `br`, `deflate`, or `gzip` supported by Meilisearch. Refer to the [documentation](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/overview#content-encoding) for more details.

Keep up with the latest stable version
--------------------------------------

Regularly update to the [latest Meilisearch release](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch) to take advantage of performance improvements that can significantly enhance indexing speed.
