Meilisearch pushes indexing speed and hardens its distributed enterprise tier

searchindexing-performancevector-searchshardinghigh-availabilityopen-source
◆Current state
Meilisearch is shipping a tight stream of point releases focused on indexing performance and stability. The new settings indexer keeps gaining parameters and speed (v1.46.0), while a run of 1.45.x releases cleaned up a deletion-batching regression and a vector-store corruption bug affecting embedder upgrades. Underneath the patches, the enterprise sharding and replication feature gained a remote-availability fallback.
◆Where it's heading
The arc is two-track: continuous performance work on the core indexer, and a maturing enterprise distributed story spanning sharding, replication, and high-availability fallback. Vector and embedder support remain an active, still-stabilizing surface.
◆Prediction
Expect continued settings-indexer performance work and further hardening of the embedder/vector path, with the distributed enterprise features accruing more resilience tooling.

    v1.45.1: revert autobatch deletions-by-filter

    Reverts the v1.45.0 autobatching of deletions-by-filter with additions after it proved problematic, a quick stability correction within the 1.45 line.

    v1.42.0: remote-availability fallback for sharding/replication

    ⚡ SPARK

    Adds a fallback system to the enterprise sharding and replication feature that detects unavailable remotes, routes around them, and resumes once they recover, exposed via the /network route. This is the clearest move in the window toward a resilient distributed Meilisearch.

    v1.42.1: legacy settings indexer and multimodal fixes

    Fixes several legacy settings-indexer and experimental multimodal embedder errors, including fragment edits causing internal errors and regenerate:false being ignored, tightening the embedder surface.
