Search Instances
The project has two Meilisearch instances:

|---|---|---|
| Main Search | SEARCH_HOST, SEARCH_API_KEY | Primary search (models, users, etc.) |
| Feed/Metrics | METRICS_SEARCH_HOST, METRICS_SEARCH_API_KEY | Image feed and metrics search |
Use --feed flag to target the feed/metrics instance.
Common Indexes

models_v9- Model searchusers_v3- User searcharticles_v3- Article search
Feed/Metrics Search
metrics_images_v1- Image feed with metrics
Debugging Tips
# Check if indexing is stuck
node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs tasks --status processing
# Find failed indexing tasks
node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs tasks --status failed
# Get error details for a failed task
node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs task <taskId>
# Check if an index is still indexing
node .claude/skills/meilisearch-admin/query.mjs index <indexName>
