🔍 Feat: Advanced Search with MeiliSearch/Elasticsearch

Title: feat(search): integrate meilisearch for full-text nft discovery
Complexity Score: 200 points

Description
SQL LIKE queries are insufficient for a marketplace. We need a typo-tolerant, fast search engine to allow users to search collections, NFTs, and profiles by name, description, and attributes.

Requirements and Context

• Engine: Use MeiliSearch (easier setup) or Elasticsearch.
• Syncing:
  • When an NFT is minted/updated, sync data to the search index.
  • When a User updates their profile, sync data.
• Features: Fuzzy search, faceting (filtering by traits/attributes), sorting.

Suggested Execution

1. Install meilisearch-js (or relevant client).
2. Create SearchService to handle indexing and querying.
3. Add event listeners (e.g., OnEvent('nft.created')) to trigger indexing asynchronously.
4. Create GET /search?q=... endpoint that proxies to the search engine.

Test and Commit

• Mock the search client in tests.
• Verify that calling SearchService.indexNft sends correct payload.
• Commit Message: feat(search): integrate meilisearch for full-text nft discovery
