Please read upgrade guide for detailed instructions.

A new Search System for LinkAce

LinkAce now features a completely rebuilt search system with pluggable backends. Choose between lightweight database search (default, no setup required) or Meilisearch for advanced full-text search with typo tolerance and better ranking. Both options support filtering by tags and lists. Database search works out of the box; to use Meilisearch, configure it alongside LinkAce, run php artisan search:setup, and then php artisan search:rebuild to index your links. Administrators can also rebuild search indexes via a new button in System Settings.

Guests can now search through publicly shared links without an account. Guest search respects your existing privacy settings—only content marked as public appears to visitors.
