Meilisearch hardens its new settings indexer while extending embedder and federated-search tooling.

search-engineembeddersindexing-performancefederated-searchsecurity
◆Current state
Meilisearch is in a consolidation phase: the v1.45-v1.48 line is dominated by stabilizing the new settings indexer for faster indexing and ironing out regressions in batched deletions and dumpless upgrades. Alongside the maintenance work, it keeps pushing AI-adjacent surface area - embedder template tooling and search personalization on federated requests.
◆Where it's heading
The engine is maturing two parallel tracks at once: a performance rebuild of the settings indexer that is now feature-complete, and an embedding layer that gained an experimental render-template route for testing document templates before configuring an embedder. Security response is tight, with same-day CVE patches backported across the 1.47 and 1.48 lines.
◆Prediction
Expect the experimental render-template and personalization features to graduate toward stable as the settings-indexer rewrite settles, with continued point releases cleaning up upgrade-path regressions.

    v1.48.3 🫎​

    A patch release fixing an S3-snapshot race condition and a federated remote-search bug that returned the same document twice - maintenance on the distributed-search path, no new capability.

    v1.47.1 🦇

    The v1.47 backport of the same CVE fix shipped in v1.48.2 - a near-duplicate security release for the older supported line rather than a distinct change.

    v1.48.2 🫎

    Same-day CVE patch (request ID 2062078) affecting scoped API keys and search tenant tokens with embedders or chat workspaces - the kind of prompt security response that keeps the engine deployable in regulated settings.

    v1.48.1 🫎

    A revert of #6432 in response to a dumpless-upgrade bug report - purely a stability rollback on the v1.48 upgrade path.

    v1.48.0 🫎​

    Introduces an experimental POST /render-template route for testing document templates and fragments against an embedder before configuring it - incremental but real tooling for the embedding workflow that fits Meilisearch's gradual AI-search buildout.

    v1.47.0 🦇

    Brings search personalization to federated search and marks the new settings indexer feature-complete - the milestone that ties off the multi-release indexer rewrite while broadening where personalization applies.
