Meilisearch occasionally ships features in an experimental state before promoting them to stable. Experimental features are fully functional but their API or behavior may change between Meilisearch versions without a deprecation period. Be careful when enabling them in production environments. You can enable or disable experimental features per project from Project Settings > General.

Check the box next to a feature to enable it. Changes take effect immediately without a restart or re-index.

Available features

The list of available features evolves with each Meilisearch release and is not fixed. The features shown in the Cloud UI at any given time depend on your project’s current Meilisearch version. As an example, the current UI shows:
FeatureDescription
Edit documents by functionApply custom transformations to documents using Rhai scripts, from simple formatting changes to complex logic
”CONTAINS” and “STARTS_WITH” filtersAdds the CONTAINS filter operator to filter documents where an attribute includes a specific substring
Dynamic Search RulesEnable rules that change how search results are ordered when specific conditions are met (e.g. pinning)
Composite embeddersUse different embedders at search time and indexing time
Multi-modal searchIndex and search through images, text, and other formats in documents
For a complete and up-to-date list, see the experimental features API reference and the changelog.

​
Enterprise-only experimental features

Some experimental features are not accessible through the Cloud UI and require direct activation by the Meilisearch team. If you need access to a feature that is not listed in your project settings, contact support@meilisearch.com or reach out to sales@meilisearch.com for Enterprise plans.

Stability notice

Experimental features are not covered by the standard API stability guarantee. If you rely on one in production, monitor the changelog for changes or promotion to stable.
