>"With Meilisearch, we have chosen the right company for the perfect search." - Matthias Petri, founder of TutKit.com and managing director of [4eck Media](https://4eck-media.de/).

The challenge: scaling search for multilingual content
---------

TutKit.com's initial search functionality, implemented by an external agency using MySQL, suffered from severe performance issues due to inefficient programming. With the platform hosting tens of thousands of content pieces, users endured unacceptable loading times of up to 10 seconds for search results—a critical flaw for a content platform. The system also lacked proper multilingual support, making it impossible to effectively filter and display results across different languages.

Frustrated with these limitations, the TutKit team decided to take matters into their own hands. They began a comprehensive refactoring project, bringing the development in-house with a clear goal: to create an ultra-fast search system that could handle multiple languages.


The solution: implementing Meilisearch
---------
The search for a solution that would provide complete control over search results led Tutkit to Meilisearch. While the platform's modern UX and compelling website initially caught their attention, the final decision was driven by several additional factors:
- **Lightning-fast search performance**: while the platform's modern UX and compelling website initially caught their attention, it was Meilisearch's exceptional speed that stood out—presenting a dramatic improvement over their existing system
- **Robust multilingual support.** Meilisearch powers a fast search performance across 26  languages on TutKit platform, coupled with straightforward management capabilities.
- **Regular platform updates and improvements.** Meilisearch’s regular monthly updates continue to bring valuable improvements, enhancing the experience for both the internal TutKit team and the website visitors.

Technical implementation
---------
The TutKit development team executed a comprehensive implementation strategy:

 **1. System setup:** the implementation of Meilisearch began with a straightforward server installation from the official website. To ensure reliable operation, the team configured a system to manage the Meilisearch instance, including automatic startup and failure recovery. This configuration guarantees continuous service availability, even after server restarts.
 
**2. Security:** the instance was implemented through a dual-key system: 
- a master key for comprehensive backend access, which allows full access to the Meilisearch instance (including creation and index management), is used exclusively in the backend. 
- A custom API key with limited permissions for front-end operations. 
This separation creates a robust security layer, protecting backend operations while maintaining efficient front-end interactions. The Laravel application connects to Meilisearch using the API key, effectively minimizing the risk of unauthorized access and potential data breaches.

**3. Optimized data flow:** built on the Meilisearch PHP library, TutKit's custom Laravel integration ensures only necessary changes reach the search index. This selective approach minimizes data processing overhead while maintaining complete control over the implementation, resulting in streamlined index updates and improved search performance.

**4. Smart batch processing:** A custom Laravel console command handles large-scale updates and initial indexing processes. By targeting only relevant records and executing selectively for major changes, this tool significantly reduces server load and maintains system reliability through efficient resource utilization.

**5. Real-time synchronization:** The system automatically detects and processes changes in Laravel models, updating Meilisearch indices instantly without full reindexing. This targeted approach keeps search data synchronized with minimal resource usage, ensuring fast, responsive search functionality for users.

Impact and results
---------
The implementation of Meilisearch has delivered significant benefits for TutKit:
**Performance improvements:** thanks to Meilisearch's continuously improving indexing speed, TutKit can process new data into their search index with remarkable efficiency. The platform's lightning-fast search capabilities significantly reduce server load by eliminating the need for resource-intensive MySQL queries. 

**Real-time filtering capabilities** further enhance the system's responsiveness, allowing users to instantly refine and view their search results.

**Cost benefits:** adoption of Meilisearch as an open-source solution has delivered cost advantages for TutKit. Beyond eliminating ongoing licensing fees typically associated with paid providers, the platform's intuitive nature allowed TutKit's in-house development team to handle implementation and maintenance independently, avoiding external developer costs.

**User experience impact:** improved search functionality has directly enhanced the visitor experience on TutKit's platform. Fast, accurate search results have eliminated user frustration caused by long wait times and irrelevant results. This enhanced user experience has proven valuable for business outcomes, as satisfied users are more likely to convert into paying customers.

**Scalability success:** despite managing hundreds of thousands of content pieces across multiple languages, the platform maintains its exceptional performance. Meilisearch consistently delivers precise, relevant results while handling TutKit's growing content library and language variants. This robust scalability gives the team confidence in their ability to expand the platform's capabilities over the long term.

Looking forward
---------

TutKit continues to scale its platform, adding more content and language variants with confidence in Meilisearch's ability to handle growing demands. The team looks forward to the further development of [AI-powered features](https://meilisearch.org.cn/solutions/hybrid-search) that could further enhance search intelligence and simplify the user interface by reducing the need for extensive filtering options.

Matthias Petri, founder of TutKit.com and managing director of [4eck Media](https://4eck-media.de/) said: "A good search is like a stage for large content platforms, where exactly what the user wants to see is always played. Without Meilisearch, our platform would be just one of many - with mediocre search results and without the clear added value that we would like to offer our customers."

For TutKit, Meilisearch has proven to be more than just a search solution – it's become a cornerstone of their platform's success, enabling them to deliver on their promise of effective learning and productive application for users across the globe.


TutKit's journey with Meilisearch: powering multilingual learning at scale.

We're excited to introduce Meilisearch v1.11. In this article, we'll cover the most significant changes. For a full list of updates, visit the [changelog](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/releases/tag/v1.11.0) on GitHub.

<Callout>
  Meilisearch 1.11 is available on [Meilisearch Cloud](https://cloud.meilisearch.com/#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog), too—upgrade now!
</Callout>

## Experimental: vector database indexing performance improvements

Meilisearch v1.11 introduces a [new embedder option](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/settings#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#binaryquantized): `binaryQuantized`.

Binary quantization compresses vectors by encoding each dimension with 1-bit values, significantly boosting performance, especially in datasets with over 1M documents and models with more than 1024 dimensions.

Smaller embeddings (under 1024 dimensions) tend to give worse results. With fewer dimensions, the binary vector doesn't retain enough information for good relevancy.


<Callout>
Enabling this feature permanently updates all vectors to contain only 1s and -1s, which can greatly affect search relevancy. This change is irreversible.
</Callout>

Before enabling this feature, we recommend testing it in a smaller or duplicate index in a development environment to evaluate its impact on your use case.

## Experimental: AI-powered search improvements

### Breaking changes

This release introduces several breaking changes for feature stabilization. 

####  `embedder` parameter becomes mandatory

In previous versions, the default embedder was automatically used for search and similar requests when no embedder was specified. Starting with v1.11, it’s now mandatory to specify the `embedder` parameter when performing:
- Semantic or hybrid search via [`GET`](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/search#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#search-in-an-index-with-get) and [`POST`](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/search#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#search-in-an-index-with-post) where the embedder must be included as part of the `hybrid` object.
- Similarity search via [`GET`](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/similar#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#get-similar-documents-with-get) and [`POST`](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/similar#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#get-similar-documents-with-post), where the `embedder` is required as a top-level parameter.


```javascript
// Semantic and hybrid search
client.index('INDEX_NAME').search(
  query, {
    hybrid: {
      embedder: 'EMBEDDER_NAME' // mandatory as of v1.11
   }
  }
)

// Similarity search
client.index('INDEX_NAME').searchSimilarDocuments({ 
  id: 'TARGET_DOCUMENT_ID',
  embedder: 'EMBEDDER_NAME' // mandatory as of v1.11
})
```

Additionally, even for full-vector searches (when using `vector` without `q`), you must include the `hybrid` object with the `embedder`.

```javascript
client.index('INDEX_NAME').search({
  vector: [0, 1, 2],
  hybrid: {
      embedder: 'EMBEDDER_NAME'// mandatory as of v1.11
   }
})
```

#### Non-zero `semanticRatio` now ignored when passing `vector` without `q`

Before Meilisearch v1.11, when performing a search with the [`vector`](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/search#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#vector-experimental) and [`hybrid`](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/search#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#hybrid-search-experimental) parameters but without [`q`](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/search#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#query-q), a [placeholder keyword search](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/search#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#placeholder-search) occurred unless `hybrid.semanticRatio` was set to `1.0`. In v1.11, a semantic search is always performed unless `hybrid.semanticRatio` is set to `0.0`.

### Additions and improvements

#### Default OpenAI model update

The default [OpenAI model](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/settings#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#model) has been updated from `text-embedding-ada-002` to the new `text-embedding-3-small`. This new model is both more cost-effective and more accurate than the legacy `ada` model, offering better performance at a lower cost.

#### New embedder parameter

Meilisearch 1.11's new `documentTemplateMaxBytes` [parameter](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/settings#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#documenttemplatemaxbytes) allows truncating the document's template text when it exceeds the specified byte limit. It is set, by default, to 400 bytes. 

This change is backward compatible. Existing embedders will retain the 400-byte default, with no need to recompute embeddings during the upgrade. The new limit will only apply when a document is modified and the template is re-rendered.

#### Improved document template

Fields in `documentTemplate` now include the `field.is_searchable` property. The default [document template](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/settings#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#documenttemplate) will filter out both empty fields and fields not in the searchable attributes list. The new default template only applies to embedders created starting with v1.11.


```liquid
// v1.11 default document template
{% for field in fields %}
  {% if field.is_searchable and not field.value == nil %}
    {{ field.name }}: {{ field.value }}
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

// v1.10 default document template
{% for field in fields %}
  {{ field.name }}: {{ field.value }}
{% endfor %}
```

## Federated search improvements: facet distribution and stats

Meilisearch v1.11 introduces two new options for federated searches: `facetsByIndex` and `mergeFacets`. These options allow you to request facet [distribution](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/search#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#facetdistribution) and [stats](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/search#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#facetstats) for federated search results.

### Facet Information by index

To retrieve facet distribution and stats for each individual index, use the `facetsByIndex` [option](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/multi_search#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#facetsbyindex). 


```json
{
  "federation": {
    "facetsByIndex": {
      "movies": ["title", "id"],
      "comics": ["title"]
    }
  },
  "queries": [
    { "q": "Batman", "indexUid": "movies" },
    { "q": "Batman", "indexUid": "comics" }
  ]
}
```

The response will include facet distribution and stats for each index:


```json
{
  "facetsByIndex": {
    "movies": {
      // Facet distribution for queries on the `movies` index
      "distribution": {
        "title": {
          "Batman returns": 1
        },
        "id": {
          "42": 1
        }
      },
      // Facet stats for queries on the `movies` index
      "stats": {
        "id": {
          "min": 42,
          "max": 42
        }
      }
    },
    "comics": {
      // Facet distribution for queries on the `comics` index
      "distribution": {
        "title": {
          "Batman: the killing joke": 1
        }
      },
      // Facet stats for queries on the `comics` index (empty because only numeric values are considered)
      "stats": {}
    }
  }
}
```

### Merged facet information

To get facet distribution and stats from all indexes in a single result, use both [`facetsByIndex`](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/multi_search#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#facetsbyindex) and [`mergeFacets`](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/multi_search#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#mergefacets):


```json
POST /multi-search
{
  "federation": {
    "facetsByIndex": {
      "movies": ["title", "id"],
      "comics": ["title"]
    },
    "mergeFacets": { "maxValuesPerFacet": 10 }
  },
  "queries": [
    { "q": "Batman", "indexUid": "movies" },
    { "q": "Batman", "indexUid": "comics" }
  ]
}
```

The response will include merged facet data:


```json
{
  "facetDistribution": {
    "title": {
      "Batman returns": 1,
      "Batman: the killing joke": 1
    },
    "id": {
      "42": 1
    }
  },
  "facetStats": {
    "id": {
      "min": 42,
      "max": 42
    }
  }
}
```

## Experimental: new `STARTS_WITH` filter operator

The new `STARTS_WITH` [filter operator](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/learn/filtering_and_sorting/filter_expression_reference#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog#starts-with) matches any field values that start with the specified string pattern:


```json
// returns all heroes whose name starts with 'super'
"filter": "hero STARTS_WITH super"
```

This is an experimental feature. To enable it, use the [experimental features](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/experimental_features#release-v1-11&utm_source=blog) endpoint and set the `containsFilter` option to `true`. Note that this will also activate the `CONTAINS` filter operator.

Meilisearch 1.11

_Bildhistoria chose Meilisearch to power the search through its quickly growing database of historical photographs and affiliated data, driving the search from multiple sources of metadata and mapsearch._

> _“Bildhistoria's large volumes of historical photos, persons, places and organizations require a fast and easy to maintain search engine, like Meilisearch. Meilisearch is used on so many places around Bildhistoria, enabling our users to explore photos and learn more about ancestors and local history. This makes Meilisearch instrumental in the success of our community.”_ - Per Rohdin, board member of the community, and project manager at Bildhistoria.

[**Bildhistoria**](https://bildhistoria.se/)**, a Swedish non-profit, operates the country's largest collection of copyright-free historical photographs. It focuses on collecting and preserving historical photographs from museums and private collections. While the project has not yet reached full general availability, Bildhistoria already boasts an impressive archive of around 90,000 images dating from the 1950s and earlier.**

The project aims to create a dynamic and collaborative platform where the public can interact with history, and where professional and amateur genealogists alike can contribute by enriching the photographs with additional data.

**Challenge: Bildhistoria tackles data fragmentation and community engagement**
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the start, Bildhistoria faced three main challenges in bringing their vision to life:

**Challenge: searching across multiple types of data:** Bildhistoria's main challenge with search is effectively searching across the different data types. The platform features not only photographs but also information about people’s names, organizations, and locations associated with each image. The team needed a search solution that could seamlessly navigate through these different data types. To address this, they have implemented Meilisearch’s "[multi-index search](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/multi_search)" that returns results from all the different indexes, allowing users to find relevant information regardless of whether they are searching for a person, place, or organization.

**Challenge: data scattered across multiple sources:** Historical photographs were scattered across various sources, including museums, archives, and private collections. There was no centralized platform in Sweden to consolidate these copyright-free images, making it difficult for researchers and the public to access this wealth of visual history.

![](https://unable-actionable-car.media.strapiapp.com/AD_4n_Xf_R_Ormjkncn9_Uj8i_Un6vaqs_Wi_I_Uln1hutwuz0h_KI_wm_GIA_P_Wry5j_Rj5_R_Altplg_VV_5_Jy_ANKPL_2_Hayt3_Jv_Ku_A_Gw9ou_P8l0va_9f26862acc.jpg)

**Challenge: Community accessibility and engagement:** Unlike traditional digital archives, Bildhistoria is an interactive platform where users can contribute additional historical facts and enrich the metadata associated with the photographs. The community of genealogists is large and diverse, spanning professional organizations to amateur genealogists and the general public. Bildhistoria’s team knew from the beginning that the only way to make the project work was to make it easily accessible and easy to use for everyone.

**Solution: Bildhistoria chose Meilisearch for simplified operations, team-wide accessibility, and rapid data synchronization**
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After careful consideration, Bildhistoria chose Meilisearch as their search solution for several key reasons:

**Less operational overhead:** Meilisearch proved much easier to set up and connect to existing indexes compared to alternatives like Elasticsearch. This was crucial for a non-profit organization with limited resources.

**Accessibility for all team members:** Meilisearch's intuitive admin interface allowed even non-technical staff to understand and configure search settings. This democratization of the search configuration process was particularly valuable for fine-tuning Bildhistoria’s search experience.

**Fast synchronization:** Bildhistoria required efficient update mechanisms to keep Meilisearch indexes in sync with their database changes. Meilisearch's ability to handle rapid updates and re-indexing was crucial for maintaining an up-to-date and responsive search experience.

**Implementation**
------------------

Bildhistoria's implementation of Meilisearch involved several key steps:

1.  The team initially deployed the open-source version on Azure but faced challenges with the hosting environment.
2.  Bildhistoria team then switched to Meilisearch Cloud, which provided better management and support, allowing them to focus on their core mission rather than infrastructure concerns.
3.  Meilisearch was integrated throughout the platform, powering the main search functionality and an innovative map search feature.
4.  Finally, Bildhistoria invested significant effort in creating an efficient data synchronization pipeline between its database and Meilisearch to handle the constant flow of new information and user contributions.

**Results**
-----------

The implementation of Meilisearch has yielded impressive results for Bildhistoria:

**Multi-index search:** Users can now perform searches that capture results across various types of data—photographs, persons, organizations, and places. This holistic approach has dramatically improved the user experience, allowing for a more comprehensive exploration of historical connections.

**Improved user experience:** The search functionality provides alternative search suggestions for similar queries and provides rich context for each image.

**Interactive map search:** Meilisearch’s [Geosearch](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/learn/filtering_and_sorting/geosearch) allows users to explore photographs associated with specific locations in Sweden. As users interact with the map, new searches are performed in real-time, updating the displayed photographs.

![](https://unable-actionable-car.media.strapiapp.com/Bildhistoria_Mapseaechdemogif_ezgif_com_video_to_gif_converter_a70a28b422.gif)

Overall, the team noticed a significant improvement in engagement and user experience since the implementation of Meilisearch.

**Conclusion: Meilisearch is a key part of Bildhistoria's vision for the future**
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking to the future, Bildhistoria has ambitious plans to further leverage Meilisearch to expand its platform's capabilities to become Sweden's leading platform for historical photographs. While initially focused on the Swedish market, Bildhistoria is open to European collaborations to scale the concept internationally. The next steps for improving the user experience on the platform would include:

*   Integrate AI-driven facial recognition across photographs to link images of the same individuals across different time periods and locations.
*   Add a _houses and buildings_ index, enabling users to trace the lifecycle of specific structures through photographs.
*   Implement features encouraging community collaboration, such as allowing premium users to follow and receive notifications about new edits and contributions.
*   Scale operations to manage a vast archive of 1-3 million photographs by collaborating with more museums and institutions.

As the project progresses and reaches full production mode, Bildhistoria continues to assemble the right technical team to establish a sustainable and long-term setup for the community, laying the groundwork for its future growth and impact.

Meilisearch powers the discovery of history for Bildhistoria

Meilisearch September updates

In today's interconnected world, many applications need to handle content in multiple languages. Meilisearch offers powerful capabilities for multilingual search, combining intelligent language handling with specialized models for optimal relevance. This guide will walk you through setting up multilingual search with Meilisearch, covering both full-text and semantic search approaches.

Why multilingual search matters
===============================

Before we dive into the technical details, let's consider why multilingual search is crucial:

1.  Global reach: Expand your audience by catering to users in their native languages.
2.  Improved user experience: Provide relevant results regardless of the language used in queries or content.
3.  Increased engagement: Users are more likely to interact with content they can easily find and understand.

Now, let's explore how Meilisearch makes multilingual search a breeze.

Full-text search: intelligent language handling
-----------------------------------------------

At its core, Meilisearch excels at handling diverse languages out of the box. Our [advanced tokenizer](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/learn/indexing/tokenization#vector-search&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=multilingual_search) is designed to work with:

*   Languages that use whitespace to separate words (like English, Spanish, and French)
*   Languages with different writing systems (such as Chinese, Japanese, and Thai)

### Automatic language detection

When you add documents to your Meilisearch index, the engine automatically detects the language of each field. This means you don't need to specify languages manually in most cases - Meilisearch will handle it for you.

For example, if your documents contain a mix of English and Spanish content:

```json
[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "title": "The quick brown fox",
    "description": "El zorro marrón rápido salta sobre el perro perezoso"
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "title": "La luna y las estrellas",
    "description": "A beautiful night sky filled with twinkling stars"
  }
]
```

Meilisearch will automatically detect and properly handle the different languages in each field, ensuring accurate search results across your multilingual content.

### Specifying languages for specific fields

While automatic detection works well in most cases, you might want more control over language handling for certain fields. Meilisearch allows you to [specify languages](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/settings#localized-attributes#vector-search&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=multilingual_search) for particular attributes using the `localizedAttributes` setting.

Here's how you can set it up:

```json
{
  "localizedAttributes": [
    {
      "locales": ["eng"],
      "attributePatterns": ["title_en", "*_english"]
    },
    {
      "locales": ["spa"],
      "attributePatterns": ["description_es", "*_spanish"]
    }
  ]
}
```

This configuration tells Meilisearch to treat fields ending with `_en` or `_english` as English, and fields ending with `_es` or `_spanish` as Spanish. This approach is particularly useful when you have a consistent naming convention for your multilingual fields or when you want to ensure specific treatment for certain attributes.

Semantic search: Enhancing multilingual relevance
=================================================

While full-text search works well for many multilingual scenarios, semantic search can provide even better results, especially for complex queries or when dealing with nuanced meanings across languages.

Meilisearch supports various embedding models for semantic search, offering powerful auto-embedding capabilities. This means you can easily set up semantic search without having to manage the embedding process yourself. Meilisearch handles the generation and storage of embeddings automatically, seamlessly integrating them into your search experience.

For multilingual applications, we recommend using specialized multilingual models rather than relying on general-purpose models. These models are designed to understand and represent meaning across multiple languages, leading to more relevant search results in multilingual contexts.

One excellent option for multilingual semantic search is the [Cohere Multilingual embedding model](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/multilingual-language-models). It offers a great balance of speed and relevance across a wide range of languages. Cohere's model is particularly adept at understanding context and nuance in different languages, making it an ideal choice for diverse, multilingual content. Follow [the guide](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/guides/ai/cohere#vector-search&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=multilingual_search) if you want to do it now.

To explore different models and their performance, you can use the [Meilisearch playground](https://playground.meilisearch.com). This interactive tool allows you to test various embedding models and see how they perform with your specific multilingual queries and content.

Conclusion
----------

We encourage you to experiment with different settings and models to find the optimal configuration for your specific use case.

Meilisearch August updates

Searching across disparate data sources can be a real headache. But aggregating information from various databases or indices enables the creation of more relevant search experiences for users. In this guide, we'll explore what federated search is and the use cases it unlocks.

What is federated search?
-------------------------

Federated search empowers you to conduct searches across multiple systems simultaneously. In the context of a search engine, federated search allows querying numerous indices and retrieving the results in a single, consolidated list.

This differs from having a monolithic index that stores various types of resources where documents could be filtered by type. Leveraging multiple indices enables the implementation of specific ranking rules for each index.

Federated search extends the capabilities of [multi-index search](/blog/introducing-multi-search/#federated-search&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=what-is-federated-search merging results into a unified, cohesive response. This allows surfacing the most relevant results across the entire dataset, rather than just the top hits for each individual index.

Federated search is a crucial feature for SaaS applications, where users frequently need to search through all available resources regardless of type. An example you might be familiar with is searching in Slack—a single search bar to find users, messages, and shared documents.

What are the benefits of federated search?
------------------------------------------

Integrating federated search into your application can facilitate more convenient search experiences. By supporting searches across multiple sources, you can build one search bar to query all the data. This eliminates the need for multiple menus or lists of results, resulting in a more intuitive and user-friendly interface.

The search experience is further enhanced by the increased relevance of the results. The comprehensiveness of the returned resources will match items that the user may not have initially considered including in their search (e.g., discovering a prospect's email in meeting notes instead of just contact details).

Uncovering the most pertinent result can be transformative for your users and your business. In an internal tool, relevant results enable users to make more informed decisions. However, in customer-facing applications, it can be the pivotal factor between converting a sale or not.

Locating information effortlessly within your application or e-commerce platform leads to higher customer satisfaction and improved retention. This allows users to extract more value from the service, ultimately elevating the overall experience quality.

How federated search improves developer experience
--------------------------------------------------

Implementing federated search leads to a more streamlined search implementation process. With federated search, results are delivered in a single, unified list, simplifying front-end development. This goes beyond [multi-index search](/blog/introducing-multi-search/#federated-search&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=what-is-federated-search) because it comes without the added complexity of implementing front-end logic to merge, sort, and paginate the results.

In this setup, the relevance of documents can be further fine-tuned thanks to granular, per-index configuration. This allows tailoring the [relevancy settings](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/learn/relevancy/relevancy#federated-search&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=what-is-federated-search) to specific data types (a specific index) rather than the entire dataset (all indices). As a federated search request comes, the search engine can ensure that the most important results rise to the top.

This also simplifies extending the search functionality if new types of documents need to be included in the future. You'll only need to focus on configuring the relevancy settings for the new document type, instead of revisiting the relevancy for the entire dataset.

Conclusion
----------

Federated search enables performing searches against multiple indices of a search engine and returns a single, consolidated list of results. With a search engine that supports federated search, developers can build more relevant user search experiences without incurring additional complexity.

Federated search is available in [Meilisearch 1.10](/blog/meilisearch-1-10/#federated-search&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=what-is-federated-search) and higher.

What is federated search?

Today we're announcing Meilisearch v1.10. In this article, we’ll review the most impactful changes. For an exhaustive listing, check out the [changelog](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/releases/tag/v1.10.0) on GitHub.

<Callout>
  Meilisearch 1.10 is available on [Meilisearch Cloud](https://cloud.meilisearch.com/#release-v1-10&utm_source=blog), too—upgrade now!
</Callout>

New: federated search
---------------------

We’re excited to announce that [federated search](/blog/what-is-federated-search/#release-v1-10&utm_source=blog is finally coming to Meilisearch. This feature extends the [multi-search API](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/multi_search#release-v1-10&utm_source=blog#perform-a-multi-search) to allow you to merge results from multiple queries into a single, unified response. You can now search different indexes and get the most relevant results across the entire dataset, not only the most relevant for each index.

For SaaS platforms that need to search across various types of resources or ecommerce sites with diverse product categories, federated search is a game-changer.

Here is an example payload for making a [federated search request](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/multi_search#release-v1-10&utm_source=blog#federated-multi-search) against the `movies` and `comics` indexes:

```json
{
  "federation": {
    "offset": 5,
    "limit": 10
  },
  "queries": [
    {
      "q": "Batman",
      "indexUid": "movies"
    },
    {
      "q": "Batman",
      "indexUid": "comics"
    }
  ]
}
```

In this example, the [federated search response](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/multi_search#release-v1-10&utm_source=blog#response-200-ok-1) will look like this:

```json
{
  "hits": [
    {
      "id": 42,
      "title": "Batman returns",
      "overview": "..",
      "_federation": {
        "indexUid": "movies",
        "queriesPosition": 0
      }
    },
    {
      "comicsId": "batman-killing-joke",
      "description": "..",
      "title": "Batman: the killing joke",
      "_federation": {
        "indexUid": "comics",
        "queriesPosition": 1
      }
    },
 ],
  "processingTimeMs": 0,
  "limit": 2,
  "offset": 0,
  "estimatedTotalHits": 2,
  "semanticHitCount": 0
}
```

### Query weighting

Federated search isn't just about combining results; it's about making those results more meaningful and relevant. Thanks to [query weighting](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/multi_search#release-v1-10&utm_source=blog#federationoptions), you can prioritize certain queries over others, ensuring that the most important data rises to the top.

The example payload below uses **query weighting** in a federated search to give more importance to documents where the `boosted` field is `true`:

```json
{
  "federation": {},
  "queries": [
    {
      "q": "iphone case",
      "indexUid": "products",
      "filter": "BOOSTED = true",
      "federationOptions": {
        "weight": 3.0
      }
    },
    {
      "q": "iphone case",
      "indexUid": "products"
      // federationOptions.weight defaults to 1
    }
  ]
}
```
<Callout>
  Learn more about [federated search and its use cases](/blog/what-is-federated-search/#release-v1-10&utm_source=blog)
</Callout>

New: language settings for queries and documents
------------------------------------------------

By default, Meilisearch automatically detects the language used in documents and queries. This comes with some limitations for edge cases. Meilisearch 1.10 introduces new language settings that allow users to manually customize their language preferences.

There are two ways to state the language used in a search:

*   Set the language used in a query
*   Set the language used in a document field

### Setting the search query locale

You can define which language is used in a query in the [search parameters](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/search#release-v1-10&utm_source=blog#query-locales).

**Example payload for searching with query `locales`:**

```json
{
   "q": "進撃の巨人",
   "locales": ["jpn"]
}
```

### Setting the document attributes’ locales

You can define which language is used in your dataset via the [index settings](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/settings#release-v1-10&utm_source=blog#localized-attributes).

**Example payload for settings with `localizedAttributes`:**

```json
{
  "localizedAttributes": [
    {
      "locales": ["jpn"], 
      "attributePatterns": ["*_japanese"]
    }
  ]
}
```
<Callout>
  Meilisearch support all [ISO-639-2B](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-2_codes) locales.
</Callout>

Self-hosting: Ubuntu v20 is now required
----------------------------------------

If you’re self-hosting Meilisearch, take note: Meilisearch 1.10 now requires **Ubuntu version 20**. This update ensures compatibility with the latest features and maintains optimal performance and security. We advise reading the documentation on [how to upgrade your Ubuntu release](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/how-to/software/upgrade-your-release/).

<Callout>
  This change does not affect [Meilisearch Cloud](https://meilisearch.org.cn/cloud#release-v1-10&utm_source=blog) users.
</Callout>

Experimental: AI-powered search DX improvements
-----------------------------------------------

### New: custom headers to REST API-based embedders

Meilisearch 1.10 supports sending custom headers to your API-based embedding service. When using the `rest` source for your [embedder settings](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/reference/api/settings#release-v1-10&utm_source=blog#embedders-experimental), Meilisearch now accepts an optional `headers` object. These headers will be added to all requests made to the embedder API.

**Example payload for embedder settings:**

```json
{
  "source": "rest",
  "apiKey": "•••••••••••••••••",
  "headers": {
    "Custom-Header": "value"
  }
}
```

### New: quality of life improvements

Additionally, we added some minor changes to make working with Meilisearch AI-powered search API easier:

*   Embedder settings now accept a `url` parameter for OpenAI embedder to access OpenAI through a proxy
*   Embedder settings now accept a `dimensions` parameter for ollama embedder
*   Meilisearch now includes `_vectors` in the response for documents without vectors (only when `retrieveVectors` is enabled)

### ⚠️ Breaking: REST API-based embedders breaking changes

The API for [configuring an embedder based on a REST API](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/learn/experimental/vector_search#release-v1-10&utm_source=blog#generate-vector-embeddings) (e.g., OpenAI, Mistral, etc.) has quickly evolved and to avoid confusion, we have decided to reorganize the parameters in dedicated `request` and `response` fields.

In practice, this change:

*   removes `query` , `inputField`, `inputType`, `pathToEmbeddings` and `embeddingObject` fields
*   adds `request` and `response` fields

Take a look at the example below to learn how to migrate to the new syntax.

**Before** — With Meilisearch 1.9

```json
{
   "source": "rest",
   "url": "https://localhost:10006",
   "query": {
     "model": "minillm",
   },
   "inputField": ["prompt"],
   "inputType": "text",
   "embeddingObject": ["embedding"]
}
```

**After** — Starting with Meilisearch 1.10

```json
{
   "source": "rest",
   "url": "https://localhost:10006",
   "request": {
     "model": "minillm",
     "prompt": "{{text}}"
   },
   "response": {
     "embedding": "{{embedding}}"
   }
}
```

#### Upgrade procedure

This procedure is only necessary if you're using REST API-based embedder. To upgrade to Meilisearch 1.10, follow these steps:

1.  Remove embedders with source `"rest"`
2.  Update your [Meilisearch Cloud project](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/learn/update_and_migration/updating#release-v1-10&utm_source=blog#updating-meilisearch-cloud) or [self-hosted Meilisearch instance](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/learn/update_and_migration/updating#release-v1-10&utm_source=blog#updating-a-self-hosted-meilisearch-instance) as usual

Experimental: `CONTAINS` filter operator
----------------------------------------

Meilisearch 1.10 introduces the `CONTAINS` operator. This is still in the experimental stage due to some performance issues we’re working to resolve. This new [filter operator](https://meilisearch.org.cn/docs/learn/filtering_and_sorting/filter_expression_reference#release-v1-10&utm_source=blog#contains) allows to check if a substring is included in a larger string.

Given the document `{ id: 1, name: "Keffir" }`, you can use the filter as follows:

*   `name CONTAINS kef` — search will match the document
*   `name CONTAINS clifford` — search will not match the document

<Callout>
  Remember all filters used lowercase, normalized strings (all accents are removed).

  Share your feedback via this [Github discussion](https://github.com/orgs/meilisearch/discussions/763).
</Callout>

Experimental: update documents with a function
----------------------------------------------

Meilisearch 1.10 allows you to edit documents by executing [a Rhai function](https://rhai.rs/). This allows you to update only a part of your dataset using filters. Additionally, using a function allows you to implement dynamic logic based on your documents’ data.

The following payload updates the title of all documents with `id` above 3000:

```json
{
  "filter": "id > 3000",
  "function": "doc.title = `✨ ${doc.title.to_upper()} ✨`"
}
```

This also enables more complex use cases, like [implementing a decaying ranking strategy](https://felx.me/2021/08/29/improving-the-hacker-news-ranking-algorithm.html). Depending on your needs, you might implement a function such as the following that will be run regularly by a Cron job.

```json
{
  "context": { "now": 1715423249 },
  "function": "
    // `posted_at` and `now` are Unix Epoch timestamps in seconds
    // they must be converted to hours.
    let age_hours = (context.now - doc.posted_at) / 60 / 60;
    doc.ranking_score = doc.upvotes ** 0.8 / (age_hours + 2) ** 1.8;
  "
}
```
