I don’t think so - your Meilisearch instance at [https://meilisearch.open.kaznu.kz](https://meilisearch.open.kaznu.kz) appears to be working fine.

Is it possible that you just need to (re-)create the Meilisearch indexes? You could see 400 errors if the indexes do not exist. If so, you just need to run `tutor [local|dev|k8s] exec cms ./manage.py cms reindex_studio --experimental` .
