DV Meilisearch
Introduction
DV Meilisearch is the first Meilisearch™ extension built for Joomla. It replaces Joomla's built-in search (Smart Search / Finder) with lightning-fast, typo-tolerant results across thousands of articles.
- Unified search - query articles, categories, and tags from one search box and get combined, relevance-ranked results
- Search term highlighting - matched words are visually highlighted in titles and descriptions
- Hit counts on filter tabs - each content type tab shows its result count
- Featured article badges - articles marked as featured get a visual indicator in results
- Keyboard navigation - navigate results with arrow keys and Enter
- Uses Joomla SEF - URLs resolved from your Joomla menu structure, with custom URL field support
- Multilingual - admin interface available in EN, NL, FR, DE, IT, ES, PT-BR, PL
- Geocoded search - find articles within a radius of any location using custom fields for latitude and longitude
- Real-time synchronisation - content is indexed the moment you publish, updated on edit, removed on trash
- Customisable interface - configurable accent colours, backgrounds, transparency, and grid layout
- Responsive - mobile-first design with automatic tablet breakpoint
- No jQuery - lightweight vanilla JavaScript, no heavy frameworks
You need a Meilisearch instance to power the search. The simplest way is to sign up for a free Meilisearch Cloud account (no credit card required). Self-hosting is free and unlimited. Install the Joomla package, enter your API keys, and you are up and running.
