About
Elasticsearch is an open-source, distributed, 
JSON-based search and analytics engine, scalable data store, and vector database built on Apache Lucene.
It stores data as JSON documents, distributes indexes across clusters and shards for horizontal scaling and high availability, and supports full-text search, aggregations, vector similarity search, and real-time analytics.
Meilisearch is an open-source AI-powered hybrid search engine for applications and websites that combines keyword-based and vector-based search to retrieve results using both lexical matching and semantic similarity.
It provides a REST API and client libraries for multiple programming languages, supports full-text search with typo tolerance, synonyms, faceted filtering, customizable sorting, and vector embeddings for semantic search.
