Documentation
# Search Engine (Instant)
A fast typo-tolerant search engine, powered by Meilisearch.
## Setup
Set `MEILI_MASTER_KEY` to a strong random string (`openssl rand -hex 32`). The single binary stores data at `/meili_data` (LMDB). Use the master key with the REST API or any Meilisearch SDK to index documents and run searches.
## Theme / appearance
Meilisearch has no user-facing UI (it's an API). Pair it with an in-house frontend or one of the official UI demos.
