# CarJager: Millions of Vehicle Searches on Meilisearch

**[Meilisearch](https://daily.dev/sources/meilisearch)** · 5 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

CarJager, a French classic car marketplace, migrated its site search from Algolia to Meilisearch Cloud to overcome Algolia's 1,000-entity sorting replica limit, eliminate DevOps overhead, and reduce costs. With ~1.3M searches/month against a ~2,000-listing catalog, Algolia's pricing was disproportionate. The migration was phased — starting with blog search, then core vehicle listings — and completed in days thanks to API familiarity. Results include native sorting across the full catalog, autoscaling that handles traffic peaks without manual intervention, and a significant cost reduction after right-sizing from an L to M instance.
