Support Meilisearch, at least as a Vector Store

[tacman]

I prefer Meilisearch to ChromaDB for a vector store, super easy to deploy and like ChromaDB, it is open source and free to use.

Meilisearch also supports Semantic Search, and has some experimental features like generative AI (conversational) and just this week they announced support for image similiarity. In both cases you need an OPEN_AI key for creating the embeddings, but a lot of work is built into the engine.

Regardless of the experimental features, replacing ChromaDB with the Meilisearch Vector Store would be great.

Thanks for your consideration.

Thanks @tacman, Meilisearch is part of our long list in #16 - if you're up for it, creating a PR for that bridge would be a great contribution :)

Might be outside of my skills, but let's see. Can you point me to the easiest existing bridge and I'll try to model it from there?

[chr-hertel]

You can have a look here:
src/store/src/Bridge/Pinecone/Store.php

And also one option could be to build on top of the package meilisearch/meilisearch-php

Oh, I definitely would want to use meilisearch SDK. I'm a fan of nueron-ai, which now has support for meilisearch: inspector-apm/neuron-ai#118

His implementation looks pretty straightforward: https://github.com/inspector-apm/neuron-ai/blob/main/src/RAG/VectorStore/MeilisearchVectorStore.php

And I imagine would port fairly well here.

@chr-hertel A better approach (at least in the context of Symfony) would be to use the HTTP API, if nobody is working on the bridge, I can handle the task 🙂
