Many times, you have to split documents into chunks, embed them, and push them into Meilisearch. Now the chunks live in the index and only in the index. There is no reason to keep a copy in your database: nothing joins a chunk, nothing edits one by hand, and the only question you ever ask is which chunks are relevant to this query, within this filter.
The awkward part is querying them from Laravel. Scout wants to mirror an Eloquent model into the index, which is backwards here. So you end up talking to the raw Meilisearch client, building filter strings by hand and mapping arrays back into something usable.
