Deactivate vector search experimental

This guide shows how to disable Meilisearch's AI-powered search.

Remove embedder configuration

Manually remove all embedder configuration from your index:

DANGER

If you don't remove all configured embedders, Meilisearch will continue auto-generating embeddings for you documents. This will happen even if vectorStore has been set to false and may lead to unexpected expenses when using OpenAI's paid tiers.

Disable the vector store

If using Meilisearch Cloud, navigate to your project overview and find "Experimental features", then uncheck the "Vector store" box.

Alternatively, use the /experimental route:

curl \
  -X PATCH 'http://localhost:7700/experimental-features/' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'  \
  --data-binary '{
    "vectorStore": false
  }'
