dead-simple documentation search
What do you like best about the product?
I signed up for Algolia's Docsearch product, and it couldn't be simpler. I gave them the URLs to my documentation, and they set everything up and it works like a charm.
I also like the weekly reports because they tell me what people search for and what's missing from my documentation. That makes it easy to see which parts I can improve!

Nothing, to be honest, I like it all. I'm an Algolia fan. I don't see anything that is not useful and needs to improve for the time being. So keep going, Algolia; you're doing good! I can't wait to see what's coming next in the future releases.

Best search for documentation sites

Fast, on-page results, auto indexing, ease of use to setup and configure. Set and forget searching/indexing. Friendly team behind the product. Makes our documentation shine, by allowing users to find the information they are after. I like how the search results are presented to gives several different focussed results, without being overwhelming to the users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. It does the job for everything I need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Full indexing and search for a large documentation site. Users can quickly search and see results on the same page, without having to navigate to another page. Search results are listed in the context of the page/topic that they're associated with, which is brilliant.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
So happy I found Algolia. Previously was using Google custom search, but Algolia is so much better, faster and has a much better on-page interface. It's fast, auto indexes and does the job perfectly.
An amazing service that supports Open Source

It's straightforward to configure and is super customizable. Very feature-rich for a free offering to Open Source projects. The javascript package makes integration easy as well.

Excellent dev experience

The documentation is easy to understand and concise, the new-ish pricing model is amazing, the learning curve is straightforward.

Not alot, do you go with one index or multiple? I spent awhile considering that, however your show good examples for both cases in the documentation.

By going static, its making searching my websites so much easier.

Great plug-in and results

I love how well it integrates with my store and line the results or gives back. It's exactly what I was looking for.

The only downside that I can think of is as my store scales up, I'd have to pay for usage, but the great thing is that I can start low and grow as the shop grows
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I added a clean search function for my store that gives customers clear results back.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a look at it and see if it works for you. I tried other solutions and they all fell short.
The best option to implement a search system when having a huge database and different types of data
What do you like best about the product?
The almost no time when performing a search and the automatic pre-flight request with the most searched terms. With that, the user has the best experience ever
The fact that you can have insights for the searches performed by users and based on that you can tailor the results

What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation on React implementation could be a little bit more updated to the current versions. For example, using hooks instead of classes and have more configuration options for styling and custom components
It will be nice to have a sandbox where you can test new implementations, for the moment I'm using a different index with a _dev on the name. Having multiple envoirments or a sandbox will help a lot during development

Great contributor to the Jenkins open source project
What do you like best about the product?
An experienced Javascript developer integrated the Algolia search engine integration into the Jenkins plugins site. The implementation was smooth. It continues to provide valuable results.
We review the most widely used search terms and the searches that return no results. Those results have helped us improve the content and the structure of the site. We've used search results to refine our documentation development plans.
We used Algolia DocSearch for the Jenkins documentation site (www.jenkins.io). We made a few simple changes to our base page and the search integration was complete. No Javascript development skills were required. We pasted their examples into our base page. It worked. We've been delighted with the DocSearch experience for users and documentation maintainers.

What do you dislike about the product?
I've not yet found a way to tune or optimize the DocSearch results. We're not seeing the same reports from DocSearch as we receive from the integration that was done for the Jenkins plugins site. We'd love to have more ways to understand what users are seeking on the documentation site and more ways to tune the experience for those users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Jenkins plugins site included an outdated internal implementation of a site search. It provided few metrics and did not help us understand our users. The Algolia search implementation regularly reports search traffic.
The Jenkins documentation site (www.jenkins.io) did not have integrated search. Algolia DocSearch provides integrated search inside the documentation site without requiring us to maintain indexes or host services to answer queries. We continue to deliver a static web site and the user can search the site contents from within the search box on the page.

Easy to use search and indexing service. Just perfect for small/medium companies.
What do you like best about the product?
It's straightforward to use and very effective. It takes away all the pain coming from maintaining a dedicated search database.
The best part of the Algolia was React UI Library
It has such a perfect and fully customizable UI library. You don't have to worry about the connection between you and Algolia. Instead of that, you can focus on the connection between the customer and you. It has a UI library for Vue, angular, android, ios.
Next, the best part is the facets.
Facets let you create categories on a select group of attributes, so your end users can refine their search.
With faces, it barely takes any time to add a new category or deliver those categories to the end-user.
Another part of Algolia like is demos.
Algolia provides out-of-box one-click demos for your indexes, so you can try and test your index structure before implementing it into your main UI.

What do you dislike about the product?
The first thing I saw when I looked at Algolia was dynamically sorting is not a thing at all. You have to make a "replica" of the same index if you want to sort it by different fields.
Honestly, copying a whole index to sort by only one different field was come scary to me. But now, when I look back, it didn't come like a spooky thing like it used to before.
Other than that. Algolia is perfect.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You don't have to maintain a dedicated server just for indexing and search. Not only financially.
Algolia also has DSN features with multiple regions, so search result is always under 100ms most of the times.
