cargo run --release
```
### Create an Index and Upload Some Documents
2020-03-26 11:59:40 +01:00
Let's create an index! If you need a sample dataset, use [this movie database](https://www.notion.so/meilisearch/A-movies-dataset-to-test-Meili-1cbf7c9cfa4247249c40edfa22d7ca87#b5ae399b81834705ba5420ac70358a65). You can also find it in the `datasets/` directory.
2019-12-02 17:17:16 +01:00
```bash
2022-05-24 11:34:34 +02:00
curl -L https://docs.meilisearch.com/movies.json -o movies.json
2019-12-02 17:17:16 +01:00
```
Now, you're ready to index some data.
```bash
2019-11-29 18:02:32 +01:00
curl -i -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes/movies/documents' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
2019-12-02 17:17:16 +01:00
--data-binary @movies.json
```
### Search for Documents
#### In command line
2020-05-27 12:03:23 +02:00
The search engine is now aware of your documents and can serve those via an HTTP server.
2020-03-26 13:18:11 +01:00
2020-03-26 11:59:40 +01:00
The [`jq` command-line tool](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) can greatly help you read the server responses.
```bash
2019-12-02 17:17:16 +01:00
curl 'http://127.0.0.1:7700/indexes/movies/search?q=botman+robin&limit=2' | jq
```

#### Use the Web Interface
2022-01-26 17:35:56 +01:00
We also deliver an **out-of-the-box [web interface](https://github.com/meilisearch/mini-dashboard)** in which you can test Meilisearch interactively.
2022-01-26 17:35:56 +01:00
You can access the web interface in your web browser at the root of the server. The default URL is [http://127.0.0.1:7700](http://127.0.0.1:7700). All you need to do is open your web browser and enter Meilisearchs address to visit it. This will lead you to a web page with a search bar that will allow you to search in the selected index.

## Core engine and tokenizer
The code in this repository is only concerned with managing multiple indexes, handling the update store, and exposing an HTTP API.
Search and indexation are the domain of our core engine, [`milli`](https://github.com/meilisearch/milli), while tokenization is handled by [our `tokenizer` library](https://github.com/meilisearch/tokenizer/).
