Update Meilisearch endpoint and documentation references

[chris-c-thomas]

This pull request updates the Meilisearch production proxy endpoint from /api to /search throughout the documentation, environment variables, deployment scripts, and application code. This change clarifies the separation between the search proxy and the data API, ensuring the /api/ namespace is reserved for the data API (Hono). The switch is reflected in both user-facing documentation and internal implementation.

Proxy Endpoint Update

• Changed the recommended Meilisearch proxy endpoint in production from /api to /search in documentation (CLAUDE.md), clarifying that /api/ is reserved for the data API. [1] [2] [3]
• Updated the description of the MEILI_URL environment variable in documentation to use /search for production, matching the new proxy endpoint.

Application and Script Changes

• Modified apps/astro/src/lib/search.ts to use /search as the proxy endpoint in production, including logic for proxy mode detection and fetch calls. [1] [2] [3]
• Updated deployment scripts (scripts/deploy.sh) to set MEILI_URL=/search for production environments. [1] [2]

Pull request overview

This PR updates the Astro web app’s Meilisearch production proxy path from /api to /search, aligning docs and deployment configuration so /api/ can be reserved for the data API.

Changes:

• Updated MEILI_URL production value from /api to /search in deployment script output (.env.production) and related documentation.
• Adjusted the Astro search wrapper to treat MEILI_URL as the full proxy endpoint and to fetch() that endpoint directly in proxy mode.
• Updated repo-level and app-level CLAUDE documentation to describe the new /search proxy behavior.

• initSearch() requires an apiKey even in proxy mode, but proxy mode ignores it. Consider making apiKey optional (or using a proxy/direct discriminated union) so call sites don’t need to pass/ship MEILI_SEARCH_KEY when host is a relative proxy endpoint.

export function initSearch(config: { host: string; apiKey: string }): void {
  if (config.host.startsWith("/")) {
    searchMode = "proxy";
    proxyEndpoint = config.host;
  } else {
    searchMode = "direct";
    client = new Meilisearch({
      host: config.host,
      apiKey: config.apiKey,
    });
