First off, hello and thank you all for your hard work! We've been using meilisearch for a few months now, and have found it to work fairly ok here and there, however, we've run into really really slow searches as our index has began to grow and we've began to add new ways to sort / search. We have a search index that has around 4M documents. This index also has:
This has lead to 2 main issues:
The machine we are using to store meiliserach has about 32GB of RAM (of which, around 5GB are being constantly used). A limit of 8 CPU cores, and we're doing 4 for indexing. In terms of how we add documents, we add/update about every 10 minutes and that might be 1 to 2k documents at a time. Indexing speed isn't too bad. The main concern is search, which is quite hindered. We're on Meilisearch 1.3.0 |

Hello @lrojas94 Thank for taking the time to write this! For indexing: I recommend you use Meilisearch v1.6.X when it's out (15/01/2024). We made a lot of improvements since v1.3.0. In v1.6.0 you will be even able to customize the proximity ranking rules settings ( Here is an overview of what will come in v1.6.0 For the search, no matter your version, this is indeed not expected. Thank you again for your feedback 🙏 |

Thank you for the super quick response! We're planning to migrate to 1.6 for sure, thank you for letting me know the release date! As for dataset access, would access to the Meilisearch dashboard be helpful? The dataset is a bit big to send over an email - so I'm happy to give you a read key to the meili dashboard if that helps (?). If so, let me know the email address you preffer and I can do that shortly :) |

Hello again Luis, Thanks for the access you sent by email, and for the settings. Do you use an SSD or HDD disk? Where is hosted Meilisearch? |
