Search backend engine choice: Meilisearch
Meilisearch was selected as the search backend engine for tauri.app. It is open source, built in Rust with a small footprint and great performance. Meilisearch released version 1.0 and offers a cloud managed instance. The Tauri project partnered with Meilisearch who graciously sponsored a hosted plan for the search engine.
Search indexing setup with docs-scraper
Tauri uses the Meilisearch docs-scraper project for search content ingestion and indexing. Configuration is handled with a single JSON file (scraper.json). A GitHub action performs the scraping as part of the CI/CD pipeline and sends results to Meilisearch Cloud instance. This approach decouples search indexing from website rendering to prevent search results getting out of sync with live content.
meilisearch-docsearch frontend project
The meilisearch-docsearch project was created to provide the frontend UI for search on tauri.app. It is compatible with Meilisearch 1.0 and is inspired by algolia/docsearch and meilisearch/docs-searchbar.js projects.
Search UI/UX improvements in meilisearch-docsearch
The meilisearch-docsearch project addresses three main pain points: improved mobile UI/UX to keep search results on-screen, better desktop UX by positioning results to avoid eye movement strain, and common keybindings including ctrl/command + K to start search and the ability to select text on the page and trigger a search from that text.
