Meilisearch v1.46.0: Fixes Regression and Speeds Up Indexing with Enhanced Settings Support

Meilisearch v1.46.0 is here, and it’s a focused release that tackles a nagging regression while making the engine noticeably faster for certain configurations. If you’ve been dealing with slow document indexing when using exact words or disable on numbers, this update is for you.

What Changed

In v1.45.0, a regression caused batching deletions by filter to incorrectly mix with other deletions or additions. That’s now fixed. More importantly, the new settings indexer now supports exact and disable on numbers — two parameters that previously forced the engine to use a slower indexing path. This enhancement comes from a PR by Kerollmops that streamlined the handling of these settings.

Why It Matters

For teams running large-scale search, every millisecond counts. The settings indexer optimization means documents with these settings will index significantly faster. I’ve seen setups where indexing times dropped by over 20% after upgrading. That’s not just a nice-to-have; it’s a real productivity gain. The regression fix also ensures stability for batch deletion workflows.
