   @jerry@infosec.town @deltatux@infosec.town ElasticSearch is considered deprecated in Firefish. It's kept around for existing installs, but could be removed in the future. MeiliSearch and Sonic are the two supported engines.

     @deltatux so far, mastodon only supports elasticsearch. I think firefish seems on track to drop support for elasticsearch - they don’t even include instructions on how to configure it

     @jerry Oh wow, that's a massive difference!
     
     Does Mastodon also support Meilisearch? Might be a great way to make everything a lot more resource efficient if it's possible.
     
     Honestly I don't believe I see any search differences between the Elasticsearch & Meilisearch backend when going through the infosec.town instance when searching for posts, so the memory usage reduction seems to be worth it...

     @deltatux substantially less. Elasticsearch was using about 50GB of ram. Meili is using ~10GB at most.

     @jerry Oh nice, never compared the two before, does Meilisearch use a lot less memory?

     The difference in memory consumption between elasticsearch and meilisearch is quite astounding
