Meilisearch is great when it works, but when it breaks it's a total nightmare. I've hit multiple bugs that destroyed my search index, I've hit multiple undocumented limits, ... that all required rebuilding my index from scratch and doing a lot of work to find what was actually going on to report it. It doesn't help that some of the errors it gives are incredibly non-specific and make it quite difficult to find what's actually breaking it.
All of that said, I still use it because it has sucked less than the other search engines to run.
