Can you elaborate on said features?

I migrated from typesense to Meilisearch on a project after I found it had much better search accuracy. I can't exactly explain why, but overall Meilisearch results feel more relevant by default.

There are actually benchmarks that allow measuring search relevancy objectively, e.g. BEIR[1]. Manticore Search team did an effort to make a PR to include it to the list. The results are here [2]. Unfortunately the BEIR team seems to be too busy to review a whole pile of PRs including about Vespa. Nevertheless it would be nice to have both Meilisearch and Typesense there too since it's interesting what performance those non-tf-idf based search engines would show compared to BM25-based and vector search engines.

I work on Typesense. Mind if I ask which version of Typesense and Meilisearch you tried this on? And if this was on some public dataset I can use?

I’d love to take a closer look.
