Customize the size of the search queue	./meilisearch --experimental-search-queue-size 10	Output logs as json

Meilisearch v1.8.0 (released on May 06, 2024) introduces a new experimental cli flag to control the number of search requests that can stay in a queue before processing.
The larger the queue is, the more RAM consumption it'll cause.
The default value is 1000. You might want to increase this number if you see very little RAM consumption on your server but receive HTTP 503 errors.
You might want to decrease this number if you notice that Meilisearch crashes during your search spike.

Usage

./meilisearch --experimental-search-queue-size 10

Just so I understand correctly that ONCE those search requests are processed the system resources such as RAM would be released back?

Hey, yes don't worry 😁
