Run MeiliSearch

There are many easy ways to download and run a MeiliSearch instance.

For example, if you use Docker:

$ docker run -it --rm -p 7700:7700 getmeili/meilisearch:latest ./meilisearch --master-key=masterKey

NB: you can also download MeiliSearch from Homebrew or APT.

🚀 Getting started

Add documents

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use MeiliSearch\Client;

$client = new Client('http://127.0.0.1:7700', 'masterKey');
$index = $client->createIndex('books'); // If your index does not exist
$index = $client->getIndex('books');    // If you already created your index

$documents = [
    ['book_id' => 123,  'title' => 'Pride and Prejudice', 'author' => 'Jane Austen'],
    ['book_id' => 456,  'title' => 'Le Petit Prince', 'author' => 'Antoine de Saint-Exupéry'],
    ['book_id' => 1,    'title' => 'Alice In Wonderland', 'author' => 'Lewis Carroll'],
    ['book_id' => 1344, 'title' => 'The Hobbit', 'author' => 'J. R. R. Tolkien'],
    ['book_id' => 4,    'title' => 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince', 'author' => 'J. K. Rowling'],
    ['book_id' => 42,   'title' => 'The Hitchhiker\'s Guide to the Galaxy', 'author' => 'Douglas Adams, Eoin Colfer, Thomas Tidholm'],
];

$index->addDocuments($documents); // => { "updateId": 0 }

With the updateId, you can check the status (processed or failed) of your documents addition thanks to this method.

Search in index

// MeiliSearch is typo-tolerant:
print_r($index->search('harry pottre'));

Output:

Array
(
    [hits] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 4
                    [title] => Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
                )

        )

    [offset] => 0
    [limit] => 20
    [processingTimeMs] => 1
    [query] => harry pottre
)

{
    "hits": [
        {
            "book_id": 456,
            "title": "Le Petit Prince"
        },
        {
            "book_id": 4,
            "title": "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"
        }
    ],
    "offset": 0,
    "limit": 20,
    "processingTimeMs": 13,
    "query": "prince"
}

Custom search

All the supported options are described in this documentation section.

$index->search('prince', ['limit' => 1]);

{
    "hits": [
        {
            "book_id": 456,
            "title": "Le Petit Prince"
        }
    ],
    "offset": 0,
    "limit": 1,
    "processingTimeMs": 10,
    "query": "prince"
}

With limit and filter, both single and double quotes are supported.

// Enclosing with double quotes
$index->search('prince', ['limit' => 2, 'filters' => "title = 'Le Petit Prince' OR author = 'J. R. R. Tolkien'"]);

// Enclosing with single quotes
$index->search('hobbit', ['limit' => 2, 'filters' => 'title = "The Hitchhiker\'s Guide to the Galaxy" OR author = "J. R. R. Tolkien"']);

🧰 Replace HTTP client

By default Guzzle is used for all HTTP requests.
But you can replace the used HTTP client with any PSR-18 compatible client.
A list with compatible HTTP clients and client adapters can be found at php-http.org.

For example, if you want to use the Symfony HttpClient, use the following code:

$ composer require symfony/http-client
$ composer require nyholm/psr7

use Symfony\Component\HttpClient\HttplugClient;
use MeiliSearch\Client;

$httpClient = new HttplugClient();
$client = new Client('http://127.0.0.1:7700', 'masterKey', $httpClient);
