Hello! I’m Maxime Legendre alias Many, one of the developer engineers working in the engine team and I joined Meilisearch in 2020 as my second Job.
Like my other teammates, I work on the whole search engine codebase from the HTTP API to the database passing by the search algorithms. About the codebase, it has been mainly written in Rustlang, this programming language choice offers us good performance with all the commodities of a recent language.
However, the fact that we need to be polyvalent doesn’t mean we don’t have our preferences! For my part, I’m really interested in search relevancy and Language support, for instance, trying to understand why a document should match or not for a specific search query, or working on how to segment words in a Language.
In fact, if you want to know a bit more about my Job in Language support, we recently made an article on the Meilisearch blog, don’t hesitate to check it!
