wagtail-meilisearch 0.1.1

A MeiliSearch backend for Wagatil

Wagtail MeiliSearch

This is a (beta) Wagtail search backend for the https://github.com/meilisearch/MeiliSearch search engine.

Installation

poetry add wagtail_meilisearch or pip install wagtail_meilisearch

Configuration

See the [https://docs.meilisearch.com/guides/advanced_guides/installation.html#environment-variables-and-flags](MeiliSearch docs) for info on the values you want to add here.

WAGTAILSEARCH_BACKENDS = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'wagtail_meilisearch.backend',
        'HOST': os.environ.get('MEILISEARCH_HOST', 'http://127.0.0.1'),
        'PORT': os.environ.get('MEILISEARCH_PORT', '7700'),
        'MASTER_KEY': os.environ.get('MEILI_MASTER_KEY', '')
    },
}

Contributing

If you want to help with the development I'd be more than happy. The vast majority of the heavy lifting is done by MeiliSearch itself, but there is a TODO list...

TODO

• Faceting
• Implement boosting in the sort algorithm
• Search results
• Add support for the autocomplete api
• Ensure we're getting results by relevance
• Write tests
• Performance improvements - particularly in the autocomplete query compiler which for some reason seems slower than the regular one.

Thanks

Thank you to the devs of https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail-whoosh. Reading the code over there was the only way I could work out how Wagtail Search backends are supposed to work.
