# Meilisearch {#module-services-meilisearch}
Meilisearch is a lightweight, fast and powerful search engine. Think elastic search with a much smaller footprint.
## Quickstart
the minimum to start meilisearch is
```nix
services.meilisearch.enable = true;
```
this will start the http server included with meilisearch on port 7700.
test with `curl -X GET 'http://localhost:7700/health'`
## Usage
you first need to add documents to an index before you can search for documents.
### Add a documents to the `movies` index
`curl -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes/movies/documents' --data '[{"id": "123", "title": "Superman"}, {"id": 234, "title": "Batman"}]'`
### Search documents in the `movies` index
`curl 'http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes/movies/search' --data '{ "q": "botman" }'` (note the typo is intentional and there to demonstrate the typo tolerant capabilities)
## Defaults
- The default nixos package doesn't come with the [dashboard](https://docs.meilisearch.com/learn/getting_started/quick_start.html#search), since the dashboard features makes some assets downloads at compile time.
- Anonimized Analytics sent to meilisearch are disabled by default.
- Default deployment is development mode. It doesn't require a secret master key. All routes are not protected and accessible.
## Missing
- the snapshot feature is not yet configurable from the module, it's just a matter of adding the relevant environment variables.
