DV Meilisearch
Introduction
DV Meilisearch Core adds a frontend search module that queries your own Meilisearch instance (self-hosted or Meilisearch Cloud). Visitors get instant, typo-tolerant search-as-you-type in a mobile-friendly UI (no jQuery). You need a running Meilisearch project, an index that already contains documents, and a Search API key in the module settings.
What Core includes
- Site search module (instant results, configurable layout)
- Connect host, index UID(s), and Search API key
- Query indexes you configure (e.g. one index or several if your data is already there)
- Typo-tolerant search via the Meilisearch engine
What Core does not include (Pro)
- No content sync plugin — Joomla articles, categories, and tags are not indexed automatically
- No full-page search component, CLI/cron reindex, or vendor setup assistance
- To replace Joomla Smart Search with indexed Joomla content, use Pro or populate indexes yourself (another tool/script)
Pro (optional) — €99/year: sync plugin, search component, indexing on save, reindex tools, geo/multilingual options, updates — dv-extensions.com/extensions/meilisearch/
Important
Meilisearch is separate software/hosting (not included). You create and pay for (or self-host) Meilisearch yourself. DV Extensions does not host your index.
