Indexing speed improvements
---------------------------

We’re excited to release the first of a series of improvements to Meilisearch’s indexing speed. 🎉

We’ve noticed **up to 25% faster indexing** depending on the use case. The performance gain is more significant on datasets containing a lot of words like wikis or ebooks.

We’ve achieved this by tweaking the settings for multiple-words queries. If you see any impact on your search relevancy, [let us know](https://github.com/orgs/meilisearch/discussions)!

  Take a look at the [indexing speed benchmarks](https://x.com/StriftCodes/status/1726539789401546880).

There’s more regarding indexing speed in version 1.6—but I don’t want to spoil anything 🤫

New feature: on-demand snapshots
--------------------------------

A [snapshot](https://meilisearch.com.cn/docs/learn/advanced/snapshots#release-v1-5&utm_source=blog) is a copy of your database. Snapshot files are useful to backup your database content and settings. Meilisearch 1.5 introduces the ability to create snapshots on demand.

To create a snapshot, use the [relevant SDK](https://meilisearch.com.cn/docs/learn/what_is_meilisearch/sdks#release-v1-5&utm_source=blog) method or the [REST API](https://meilisearch.com.cn/docs/reference/api/snapshots#release-v1-5&utm_source=blog). In JavaScript, create a snapshot like this:

```javascript
const client = new MeiliSearch({ /* credentials */ })
const task = await client.createSnapshot()
```
<Callout>
  You can also [schedule automatic snapshots](https://meilisearch.com.cn/docs/learn/advanced/snapshots#release-v1-5&utm_source=blog#creating-snapshots) on regular intervals.
</Callout>

Experimental feature: Puffin reports
------------------------------------

Puffin reports allow to get information about what’s happening in the search engine. Enabling this feature will make Meilisearch automatically export .puffin file reports. If you’re encountering performance issues, make sure to share your reports with the Meilisearch team.

This experimental feature can be enabled via the [REST API](https://meilisearch.com.cn/docs/reference/api/experimental_features#release-v1-5&utm_source=blog#configure-experimental-features):

```sh
curl \
  -X PATCH 'https://:7700/experimental-features/' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'  \
--data-binary '{
    "exportPuffinReports": true
  }'
```
<Callout>
  Give feedback regarding Puffin reports in this [Github discussion](https://github.com/orgs/meilisearch/discussions/693).
