I guess I'll ask the same question that I ask every time a search product appears here – does it handle languages other than English? Last I checked Meili search was still English-only, for that the inbuilt Postgres search is honestly good enough for most usecases.

Hi @tommoor I work at Meilisearch so maybe a biased answer. We do support other languages than English, it actually depends on what are the languages supported by our tokenizer https://github.com/meilisearch/charabia https://github.com/meilisearch/charabia, so any language that uses whitespace to separate words(including English), Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew and Thai (Japanese and Thai might work a little bit less)

  Thank you for posting back. I have a list of technologies to try for an upcoming project, and Meilli is one of them. Our language is Hebrew, and I had just written in my notes file that Meilli is a no-go because of the GP post. Good think that I thought to refresh the page before moving on. Such a comment on HN can be very damaging, as I generally trust the posters here more than in other places. I know that I'll have very little time to properly assess technologies so I'd like to shorten the short-list as much as possible. Again, thank you.
