Congrats! Love seeing an alternative to Elastic/Lucene, esp. in Rust! Just wondering, for those using Elasticsearch for log storage/querying, could Meilisearch potentially fulfill this use-case also? And are you aiming to be a more "performant" and efficient alternative to Elasticsearch?

Thanks kevinsf90 :D Meilisearch is really focus towards `end-user search` or `customer-facing search` so, there is few chances we go in that direction. But we are really aiming to be the easier, simpler and thus more performant alternative to Elasticsearch. Since Meilisearch won't cover every uses cases that Elasticsearch covers, it is much more performant and intuitive on this subset. If you want to build complex queries, with terabytes of data & aggregation queries you should definitely use Elasticsearch. If you want to build the best search experience for your end-user that will be the most relevant and answers in a few milliseconds, then Meilisearch is the obvious choice here :)

Meilisearch is rather the free and open alternative to Algolia, as it focuses on solving zero-config and easy to deploy autocomplete search, as opposed to analytics at scale.
