Meilisearch: v1.26.0 🐛

# ✨ Enhancements ## Allow to attach custom metadata in the document addition or update tasks - To make it easier to keep track of which documents were processed by Meilisearch, it is now possible to attach an arbitrary string to all routes that create document-related tasks. - Tasks created with this custom metadata will display the passed metadata when accessed by the tasks route or sent in webhooks. - To use this feature, add the `customMetadata` query parameter to any supported route: ``` POST /indexes/{indexUid}/documents?customMetadata=my-metadata-for-the-task ``` - Note that, as usual for query parameters, the value of the parameter must be URL-encoded. - List of supported routes: ``` POST /indexes/{indexUid}/documents PUT /indexes/{indexUid}/documents DELETE /indexes/{indexUid}/documents/{documentId} POST /indexes/{indexUid}/documents/delete-batch POST /indexes/{indexUid}/documents/delete POST /indexes/{indexUid}/documents/edit DELETE /indexes/{indexUid}/documents ``` - Sample output of `GET /tasks` for tasks with metadata: ```json { "results": [ { "uid": 37, "batchUid": 37, "indexUid": "mieli", "status": "succeeded", "type": "documentDeletion", "canceledBy": null, "details": { "deletedDocuments": 31944 }, "error": null, "duration": "PT0.511099S", "enqueuedAt": "2025-11-06T16:33:37.816237Z", "startedAt": "2025-11-06T16:33:37.821591Z", "finishedAt": "2025-11-06T16:33:38.33269Z", "customMetadata": "removeall" }, { "uid": 36, "batchUid": 36, "indexUid": "movies", "status": "succeeded", "type": "documentAdditionOrUpdate", "canceledBy": null, "details": { "receivedDocuments": 31968, "indexedDocuments": 31944 }, "error": null, "duration": "PT3.192271S", "enqueuedAt": "2025-10-30T10:31:12.896073Z", "startedAt": "2025-10-30T10:31:12.911905Z", "finishedAt": "2025-10-30T10:31:16.104176Z", "customMetadata": "foo" } ], "total": 38, "limit": 2, "from": 36, "next": 35 } ``` by @dureuill in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/5963 ## Support more models for `huggingFace` embedder You can now select models with the `modernBERT` architecture when generating embeddings locally on CPU or GPU with the `huggingFace` embedder. This unlocks for instance [Ruri v3](https://huggingface.co/cl-nagoya/ruri-v3-30m) and [other models](https://huggingface.co/models?other=modernbert) by @hayatosc in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/5980 ## 🧪 Experimental: embedder failure modes You can now decide to ignore some embedder-related errors. Either: 1. Errors related to a document template not rendering properly 2. Errors related to an embedding request to an embedder failing (this includes missing vectors in `userProvided` embedders) 3. Or both kinds of errors. When errors are ignored, the corresponding documents will not have embeddings, but the associated batch of tasks will not be marked as failed. Of course, ignoring errors means that it is harder to notice an issue with embedders, so use this feature parsimoniously. To enable the feature: - Customers of the Cloud, please ask the support. - OSS users, please use the `MEILI_EXPERIMENTAL_CONFIG_EMBEDDER_FAILURE_MODES` and set it to a comma-separated list of errors to ignore, with the possible values: 1. `ignore_document_template_failures` to ignore document template failures 2. `ignore_embedder_failures` to ignore embedder failures - For example: `ignore_document_template_failures,ignore_embedder_failures` ignores both kinds of failures by @dureuill in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/5984 ## 🧪 Experimental: timeout control for REST embedders You can now control the duration before a REST embedder request times out. - Customers of the Cloud, please ask the support. - OSS users, please use the `MEILI_EXPERIMENTAL_REST_EMBEDDER_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`, which must be a positive integer. by @dureuill in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/5984 # 🔩 Misc * Remove unused dependency `allocator-api2` by @xuhongxu96 in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/5969 # 👥 Contributors Many thanks to our new contributors @hayatosc and @xuhongxu96 ❤️
