# Meilisearch (/templates/meilisearch)



[Meilisearch](https://www.meilisearch.com) is a fast, typo-tolerant search engine with a simple HTTP API.

Deploy it from the [template list](/templates#deploy-a-template). It takes a minute or two.

## What gets deployed [#what-gets-deployed]

<TemplateServices name="Meilisearch" />

Indexes are kept on a volume mounted at `/meili_data`.

## What you fill in [#what-you-fill-in]

<TemplateInputs name="Meilisearch" />

## After it deploys [#after-it-deploys]

Open the **Meilisearch** service and copy the value of `MEILI_MASTER_KEY` from its variables. Check that it works:

```bash
curl https://your-domain/keys -H "Authorization: Bearer your-master-key"
```

The response lists the default search and admin API keys.

## Good to know [#good-to-know]

* **Do not ship the master key**: use it only to manage keys. Give your backend the admin key and your frontend the search key.
* **Connect another service**: [reference](/services/variables) `MEILI_MASTER_KEY` and the Meilisearch address from the service that needs them, instead of copying the values.
