Known limitations

Some of these limitations have been made by MeiliSearch developers for relevacy and/or performance while others limitations are enforced by LMDB, the key-value store used by MeiliSearch.

The maxime database size is by default 100GiB for each databases. This size can me modified using the options & --max-udb-size as described in the configuration guide.

A maximum of 1000 words per attribute can be indexed. This means that if an attribute contains more than 1000 words, only the first 1000 words will be indexed and the rest will be silently ignored.

Other limitations

The default limit for the payload size is around 100MB. This limit can be modified.
