Once MeiliSearch is running, you can interact with it via its RESTful API. Here's a basic example of how to index documents:

curl -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes/movies/documents' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data-binary '[
        {"id": 1, "title": "Inception", "year": 2010},
        {"id": 2, "title": "Interstellar", "year": 2014}
    ]'
            

To perform a search:

curl -X GET 'http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes/movies/search?q=Inception'
            

• Keep your indexed data minimal and relevant.
• Regularly update your indices for relevant search results.
• Utilize the typo tolerance feature to enhance user experience.
• Monitor performance and optimize queries as needed.
