How it works

The core feature, which is to mutate the search request, is done by injecting an ActionFilter with reflection. So it may only support a few versions of Jellyfin. At the moment I'm using Jellyfin 10.10.0, but it should work on other versions as long as the required parameter name of /Items doesn't change.

The index will update on following events:

• Server start
• Configuration change
• Library scan complete

umm...

Because I don't really like setting up a reverse proxy or any of that hassle, so I am writing this, but it still requires a Meilisearch instance.

At the moment it only works in the search page and only for the /Items endpoint, but it still improves a lot.
