Meilisearch exposes its API to create indexes, update settings, and retrieve results on HTTP port 7700. If you publicly expose that port, we highly recommend using Meilisearch built-in authentication features to prevent unauthorized persons making request against your Meilisearch installation.
In the Meilisearch docs you'll find how to start Meilisearch with a master password and how to retrieve the API Keys.
You can specify the API Key (can be public or private key) that this package should use by adding a meilisearch.apiKey
JSON value to the extra
attribute in the site_search_configs
table. Here's how that would look like:
{"meilisearch":{"apiKey":"your-private-or-public-api-key"}}
