Meilisearch is an open-source, self-hostable search engine positioned as a lighter, easier-to-run alternative to Elasticsearch or Algolia for developers who want fast, typo-tolerant search without vendor lock-in. Because it can be self-hosted, sites integrating it typically expose it via a thin client-side SDK, and our detection engine matches on 1 script pattern and 1 HTML pattern tied to that SDK's request structure. Unlike hosted search platforms, a Meilisearch detection doesn't confirm which backend infrastructure is serving the index — only that the site's front end is wired to a Meilisearch-compatible API.
