Fix Symfony doc: remove non-existent Searchable attribute, replace deprecated SearchService by qdequele · Pull Request #3535 · meilisearch/documentation

qdequele · 2026-03-30T18:32:56Z

Closes #3529

Changes

Remove #[Searchable] attribute — this PHP attribute does not exist in the bundle (tracked in Support attributes to configure indices/indexes meilisearch-symfony#387). Entity configuration is now shown via YAML indices in meilisearch.yaml, which is the only supported approach.
Replace deprecated SearchService with SearchManagerInterface (deprecated since bundle v0.16). Updated both the basic search example and the search with filters example.
Fix search() call signature — the current API requires EntityManagerInterface as the first argument: $searchManager->search($entityManager, Movie::class, 'query').

Summary by CodeRabbit

Documentation
- Comprehensively revised Symfony integration guide with a new configuration approach for defining and managing searchable indexes through centralized configuration settings.
- Updated all search implementation examples to demonstrate proper service integration and current API usage patterns.
- Enhanced documentation for filter and sort configuration with practical examples and current implementation best practices.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Documentation for the Symfony getting-started guide was updated to remove use of a non-existent #[Searchable] Doctrine attribute, switching entity-to-index registration to meilisearch.indices in config/packages/meilisearch.yaml, and adjusted example code to use SearchManagerInterface (with EntityManagerInterface) and updated search/filter call sites.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Symfony docs `getting_started/frameworks/symfony.mdx`	Removed `#[Searchable]` attribute references; added YAML-based `meilisearch.indices` registration (`name`, `class`) and per-index `settings`; replaced `SearchService` usage with `SearchManagerInterface` and updated controller/search snippets to call `$searchManager->search(...)` and include `EntityManagerInterface` where shown.

Poem

🐰 I hopped through docs to chase a ghostly trait,

Swapped it for YAML — tidy, clean, and straight.
SearchManager joins with EntityManager in line,
Now examples hum and everything's fine. 🥕

In `@getting_started/frameworks/symfony.mdx`:
- Around line 115-133: Update the SearchController::search method to use the new
SearchManagerInterface::search signature: remove the EntityManagerInterface
parameter from the controller method signature and from the call to
$searchManager->search, and call $searchManager->search with the entity class
and query string (e.g., Movie::class, 'matrix') so the method uses
SearchManagerInterface::search(Movie::class, 'matrix') instead of passing an
EntityManagerInterface instance.

+        SearchManagerInterface $searchManager
+    ): Response {
+        $results = $searchManager->search(
+            $entityManager,


Well the new search manager removed the need to provide the entity manager, so it can work with any source, not only orm ;)

thanks, updated!

 ```php
-$results = $searchService->search(
+$results = $searchManager->search(
+    $entityManager,


thanks, updated!
