Managed search

Meilisearch instances with a scoped API key for full-text search.

Managed search gives you a Meilisearch instance backed by a scoped API key restricted to your own index prefix — full-text search, typo tolerance, and faceting without running your own server.

Provision#

Open Search → New instance and give it a name. When it’s Running, click Reveal connection for the host, API key, and index prefix. Name your indexes starting with the prefix (e.g. `<prefix>-products`) — the scoped key can only touch indexes under it.

Shell

curl "$MEILI_HOST/indexes/$MEILI_INDEX_PREFIX-products/documents" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MEILI_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '[{"id":1,"title":"hello"}]'

Index a document with the returned credentials.

Rotating the key revokes the previous one immediately. Deleting the instance removes the key and every index under the prefix.

✦ Your app has full-text search it can index and query with a scoped, revocable key.
