```



### Run Meilisearch 



There are many easy ways to [download and run a Meilisearch instance](https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/learn/getting_started/installation).



For example, using the `curl` command in [your Terminal](https://itconnect.uw.edu/learn/workshops/online-tutorials/web-publishing/what-is-a-terminal/):



```bash

# Install Meilisearch

curl -L https://install.meilisearch.com | sh



# Launch Meilisearch

./meilisearch --master-key=masterKey

```



NB: you can also download Meilisearch from **Homebrew** or **APT** or even run it using **Docker**.



## 🚀 Getting started



#### Add documents 



```go

package main



import (

	"fmt"

	"os"



	"github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch-go"

)



func main() {

	client := meilisearch.NewClient(meilisearch.ClientConfig{

                Host: "http://127.0.0.1:7700",

                APIKey: "masterKey",

        })

	// An index is where the documents are stored.

	index := client.Index("movies")



	// If the index 'movies' does not exist, Meilisearch creates it when you first add the documents.

	documents := []map[string]interface{}{

        { "id": 1, "title": "Carol", "genres": []string{"Romance", "Drama"} },

        { "id": 2, "title": "Wonder Woman", "genres": []string{"Action", "Adventure"} },

        { "id": 3, "title": "Life of Pi", "genres": []string{"Adventure", "Drama"} },

        { "id": 4, "title": "Mad Max: Fury Road", "genres": []string{"Adventure", "Science Fiction"} },

        { "id": 5, "title": "Moana", "genres": []string{"Fantasy", "Action"} },

        { "id": 6, "title": "Philadelphia", "genres": []string{"Drama"} },

	}

	task, err := index.AddDocuments(documents)

	if err != nil {

		fmt.Println(err)

		os.Exit(1)

	}



	fmt.Println(task.TaskUID)

}

```



With the `taskUID`, you can check the status (`enqueued`, `canceled`, `processing`, `succeeded` or `failed`) of your documents addition using the [task endpoint](https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/reference/api/tasks).



#### Basic Search 



```go

package main



import (

    "fmt"

    "os"



    "github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch-go"

)



func main() {

    // Meilisearch is typo-tolerant:

    searchRes, err := client.Index("movies").Search("philoudelphia",

        &meilisearch.SearchRequest{

            Limit: 10,

        })

    if err != nil {

        fmt.Println(err)

        os.Exit(1)

    }



    fmt.Println(searchRes.Hits)

}

```



JSON output:

```json

{

  "hits": [{

    "id": 6,

    "title": "Philadelphia",

    "genres": ["Drama"]

  }],

  "offset": 0,

  "limit": 10,

  "processingTimeMs": 1,

  "query": "philoudelphia"

}

```



#### Custom Search 



All the supported options are described in the [search parameters](https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/reference/api/search#search-parameters) section of the documentation.



```go

func main() {

    searchRes, err := client.Index("movies").Search("wonder",

        &meilisearch.SearchRequest{

            AttributesToHighlight: []string{"*"},

        })

    if err != nil {

        fmt.Println(err)

        os.Exit(1)

    }



    fmt.Println(searchRes.Hits)

}

```



JSON output:

```json

{

    "hits": [

        {

            "id": 2,

            "title": "Wonder Woman",

            "genres": ["Action", "Adventure"],

            "_formatted": {

                "id": 2,

                "title": "Wonder Woman"

            }

        }

    ],

    "offset": 0,

    "limit": 20,

    "processingTimeMs": 0,

    "query": "wonder"

}

```



#### Custom Search With Filters 



If you want to enable filtering, you must add your attributes to the `filterableAttributes` index setting.



```go

task, err := index.UpdateFilterableAttributes(&[]string{"id", "genres"})

```



You only need to perform this operation once.



Note that Meilisearch will rebuild your index whenever you update `filterableAttributes`. Depending on the size of your dataset, this might take time. You can track the process using the [task status](https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/learn/advanced/asynchronous_operations).



Then, you can perform the search:



```go

searchRes, err := index.Search("wonder",

    &meilisearch.SearchRequest{

        Filter: "id > 1 AND genres = Action",

    })

```



```json

{

  "hits": [

    {

      "id": 2,

      "title": "Wonder Woman",

      "genres": ["Action","Adventure"]

    }

  ],

  "offset": 0,

  "limit": 20,

  "estimatedTotalHits": 1,

  "processingTimeMs": 0,

  "query": "wonder"

}

```
