### Meilisearch use cases in online stores and content platforms

Meilisearch can index catalog fields for searching, filtering, and sorting. Configure attributes such as price, discounts, or stock status where they are available in your data. Search behavior depends on your index and application integration.

### Connecting Meilisearch to content management systems

For example, projects using [host strapi](/marketplace/apps/strapi) can connect content and search indexes. Teams using [directus](/marketplace/apps/directus)  can use webhooks or another integration to sync record changes with Meilisearch.

### API keys and access control

Meilisearch supports API keys with different permissions. Use a search key with limited access in client-side code, and keep administrative keys on the server. Review permissions for your indexes and tasks.

### Evaluate Meilisearch with a package that fits your project

Meilisearch resources count toward your selected monthly package. No promotional credit is included, and international service creation is currently paused.

## Set up site search with Meilisearch
