- Very fast search results, no matter how many filters

- Multi query support to get as many response data objects without sending extra API calls, results in page speed optimization

- Easy to integrate on the client-side or the server side

- Easy to Configure the Searchable attributes, Faceting, Sorting mechanism from the Dashboard

- Manually Writing Query, Maybe a UI based Query Builder in the Dashboard can be helpful which can filter the records on the go and we just copy the code and use it in the application logic

- There should be a way to rename the replica indices without detaching from the primary index

- There should be a way to take a backup of Configuration/Data of complete APP in Single Click

Listing and Searching a large number of records with a complex set of dynamic filters on the UI.

We're using Algolia not just on our Website but also on Android and IOS native apps.

Product suggestions and autocorrect are great

Index are redundant sometimes if you are new to the app and not very tech savy

It is very easy to configure or have someone to configure it, once it's done you just sit back and relax, sales will go up on your site because users will not be frustrated not finding the item or variant they are looking for

Product suggestions, auto-complete, and autocorrect functionalities are amazing, most of the issues on websites that I have managed are from the user misspelling, not knowing the name or want some suggestions, this UX is amazing

Search has been complicated for a long time, Google fixed how we search the web. Algolia has fixed how we search websites for content products and more. The indices are simple to create and configure. You have control over the relevancy of the content, and can even build custom algorithms. The search results are returned in milliseconds.

There isn't anything I dislike, Algolia is built to return fast and relevant results for your content which you index.

When you have indexed your content before customizing your search client. Adjust your relevancy settings etc in the UI and test searches in the UI, when results are returning what you expect backup your settings then begin client-side work and double-check what's returned in your browsers network tab matches the results in the UI

Indexing blog content and making it easily searchable on the web.

Algolia is a must-have when it comes to search and faceted navigation.

I deployed it on some project, and all my clients were amazed about how fast and relevant it is.

I used it for global autocomplete search, global search experience, and faceted search.

It's always a WOW effect.

It brings so many features that you don't need to develop that the price is almost a detail.

There are no real downsides. Everything is here to help a freelance developer like me.

Algolia solves all search-related problems.

You create your index; it does all the rest of the job for you.

I like that it is very easy to use and add information, in addition the platform is very intuitive and the searches are very fast. The technical support service responds to us very quickly and resolves problems immediately, the truth is very responsible.

Algolia developers thought of everything, because so far we have not seen errors. They may exist, but we are very happy with this software and we would like it to continue that way.

If you have doubts, you should only use the free trial version and the doubts will dissipate, because the integration of our products with our clientele is excellent and I can assure you that after using it, you will want to buy a full service package.

I love that we are better known every day, because our reputation increases as we enter new products and our customers find their specifications without many complications, because the search engine is very fast and the interface builds confidence, I think it is perfectly made for the user .

Algolia provides a full full-text search service. Beside other search technologies that require an infrastructure, Algolia has everything ready to be used. You only have to define the content, and the rest of the solutions "just works" instantly.

Nothing. It is great from everything possible angle. You have widgets and libraries to cover everything you can ask and more.

The pricing is always a concern for most clients. However, under our perspective, Algolia is very convenient. You can forget about the search infrastructure and empower your site on Algolia. It works everywhere and 7x24. An excellent search engine is priceless. On top of this, Algolia's free tier can meet the requirement of most small sites and business.

We have implemented Algolia in our sites and we are also selling extensions for Joomla based on Algolia. We are currently integrating Algolia on sites based on the idea of promoting Instant Search and Autocompletion for Sites. We are developing connectors for Algolia. No more complications than the connector configuration.

Fast: Algolia's search results are super fast.

Scalable: It has the capacity to hold from 1 to many records (tested with catalog size of 100000 products)

Easy to integrate: For many e-commerce platforms, it comes with a plugin which is super easy to configure.

Search modification: You can define the synonyms and check the empty search results for which customers are looking for on your store.

Redirection: You can use the redirection rule to move user to a particular page on a search for a particular search keyword.

Higher Pricing: Recently there is a change in the pricing model which I think might not be liked by many small business owners.

Go for it!

Algolia is, as far as my experience is concern, THE BEST solution available for configuring search and search result pages in market right now.

Compare to the default search / other search engines, the experience of integrating Algolia was smooth. It is also very fast in terms of showing search results. The indexes are really powerful and get updated really quickly. No matter, how many numbers of products your store having, Algolia's performance does not get down. We have implemented it in different size projects from low traffic to heavy traffic and the results are amazing. The good thing here is that if you have storefronts like Magento or Shopify, or many big names, algolia provides easy plugins which can help to integrate your store faster.

I like the amount of simple integration allowing me to worry about my application logic without needing to worry about how to integrate complex search. We used an integration with Laravel that was backed by Algolia making a lot of the implementation simple and seamless. We went this route multiple times to build different types of solutions for multiple customers.

We did a lot of work with Laravel and it being somewhat first-class supported and Algolia seems to care about making it work well with our framework made it really a perfect fit.

I can get lost a little in the UI especially when switching indexes. With search being a complex type of use case it may just be how it is. I find the helpful documentation and integrations make up for the issues I find in the Algolia UI

Use the provided integrations from Algolia if possible. It makes life a lot easier even though they have a well-documented API if needed.

I have used it to do multiple types of searches. Such as a simple document search, filtered searches, keyword searches across many complex models/content types. In all cases, it has been fairly easy to use with great documentation to help me along. We could've done a lot of work in the database to get the same result but it was nice to offload some of this work so we do not have to worry about scaling the search as time goes one. I much rather have someone who knows what they are doing handle that part instead of having to handle that on my own

Great documentation, great explanation of the technology they developed and how it works. Really nice explanation of how they approach high availability

Very little downsides. Some implementations can become costly, but this one was not. We really appreciate the development time that went into the Shopify app. Most people just make an app in the Shopify store and leave it, aloglia actually put considerable time into the app and has done a really nice job of improving the app over time.

Best enterprise-ready solution for Shopify. We like it much better than our current solution. It is lightning fast. Orders of magnitude faster than our current solution.

We are solving for e-commerce search. Our existing solution had many reliability problems. Greater reliability is the biggest upside.

The speed at which a search operation executes, along with all the linked aspects that broadens the concept of universal unified search in order to provide great User Experience! The product's landing page is one of the best I have seen to date since it clearly explains the search powers when clicked on the search bar on the homepage to get on the demo search portal in order to get hands-on experience with it. Simply put, Algolia is one of the best search experience providers that totally builds on and aims to provides one of the best user experiences out there when it come to search platforms/ tools or APIs.

I guess they should also have a WordPress plugin since WP is one of the most widely used CMS platforms. Adding a plugin to Wordpress library will help Algolia and most global users to expand the search experience using Algolia for any one's platform/ website or their product. Also, the product should provide an in-built search bar generator tool that can then be embedded on to any website at any section of the page which will be very helpful for non-coder or new users who aren't very friendly with the development environment. WYSIWYG editor or search bar generator and styling tool can help a lot in integrating to small scale static websites.

A fantastic search experience everyone must try at least once.

Personalized search experiences that converts, and provides unique experiences to drive engagement.
