Step 2: Configure MeiliSearch

By default, MeiliSearch listens on port 7700. If you wish to change this port or configure any other parameters, you can do so by editing the meilisearch.toml file located in /etc/meilisearch/ directory.

For example, to change the port MeiliSearch listens on, open the meilisearch.toml file in your preferred editor and add the following line:

port = 8080

Once MeiliSearch is installed and configured, you can access it by navigating to http://localhost:7700/ in your web browser.
