Metabox Integration

Hi,

Your plugin looks like a fantastic integration for Meilisearch. We are currently setting up a large-scale website with over 1 million posts on a powerful server, and we want to use Meilisearch for our search functionality.

For maximum performance, we are using the Meta Box plugin with its Custom Database Tables extension. This means our custom fields are stored in dedicated, custom SQL tables rather than the default wp_postmeta table.

Does CelerSearch support indexing custom fields stored in Meta Box custom tables? If not, is there a specific hook or filter we can use to manually inject these custom table fields into the Meilisearch index during synchronization?

We really want to leverage Meilisearch at this scale and would love to use your plugin if it supports this setup. Looking forward to your response.

Kind regards,
Serdar

Thank you so much Darko, much appreciated! I’m now importing the millions of posts to the new WordPress site. After that, I’ll install CelerSearch, try it and give you a five-star review through wp.org.

Hi Darko,

I finished importing posts to the site and created a test Meilisearch instance for testing the CelerSearch plugin. Looks like it works smoothly. The thing is that, it returns error if I create more than 400-500K indexes. I think this happens because of Cloudflare’s 100-second limit. Is it possible to use WP-CLI to create indexes or configure cron to make it working in the background?

Once again thank you so much for your brilliant plugin and support. Much appreciated!

Kind regards,
Serdar

Hey @kocakserdar ,

Thanks for the information, yes – this could happen due to different factors. WP CLI would be much bettter option given your index size.

WP CLI Interface

Find the configured index ID/slug
```
wp celersearch index list
```
Check local and remote document counts
```
wp celersearch index info <index-slug>
```
Preview counts without indexing
```
wp celersearch reindex <index-slug> --dry-run
```
Index/update the data
```
wp celersearch reindex <index-slug>
```
Verify the result
```
wp celersearch index info <index-slug>
```
Default mode

The default mode is refresh. It keeps search available, upserts current WordPress records, and removes stale remote documents afterward.

To rebuild everything from scratch:
```
wp celersearch reindex --mode=full
```
A full rebuild deletes and recreates the remote index, so search is temporarily unavailable. Use it when the primary key changes or when you explicitly need a clean rebuild. The older –clear option is only a deprecated alias for –mode=full.

Let me know if that helps.

Best Regards,
Darko
