Broadly, how do you find it? Are its semantic search features useful? And have you found a way to have it search within PDFs?
Anything that I should know about it, any features you feel are fantastic or feel are lacking?

I use Karakeep which uses Mellisearch as a part of its stack

Yep. I have an instance I self-host to power a "cookbooks -> scanner -> images -> OCR -> indexed search" tool I built for myself. The whole thing is pretty much just a few bash scripts thinly wired into a Meilisearch instance, but the utility is helpful when looking for a recipe from my collection.

Sounds good. And Meilisearch handles that OK?

It's part of Bar Assistant stack. Haven't got into it outside of it

Paperless ngx seems to support fulltext search of PDF's, in addition to other document types.

Melisearch is integrated into Linkwarden. That's about my extent of knowledge.
I did look at melisearch briefly to see if I could use search engine databases in creating my own search engine just as a project because I've often toyed with the idea of having my own search engine, but it seemed a bit over my head. Smithsonian Libraries publish some of those databases.
