Search done right, fast and simple to build an index of searchable content, a must have!
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't anything I dislike, Algolia is built to return fast and relevant results for your content which you index.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Indexing blog content and making it easily searchable on the web.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
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
A very flexible solution.
What do you like best about the product?
The dashboard is organised in a very ergonomique way wich allows even non technically-literate users to be able to easily their integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
The more advanced api documentation can be a bit lacking at times
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use algolia for in a wide range of applications, from customer facing search bars to employee files and stock management.
Best developer experience!
What do you like best about the product?
Their docs are the best I’ve ever encountered. Makes it super easy to get a robust search up and running in no time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of their tract components don’t support hooks yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating a dope search experience for our users. It also doubles as our autocomplete for mentions
That is some powerful search
What do you like best about the product?
Algolia is amazingly simple for devs to implement. We roll it out to nearly all the websites we build. Once deployed we never have to worry about search. It's crazy fast, crazy accurate and a real pleasure to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Algolia needs to work a bit on their customer support. They can somewhat a bit slow or hard to reach. But luckily when they solve your issue, they do it right. Also they use to have a great WP plugin but they discontinued it. It was a great solution but they favor dev's to build their own solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use to roll out solutions like Apache Solr for search and while it is powerful, it requires so much work to put in place and customize to your needs. Now we can roll out powerful search in 1/10th of the time it use to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want something powerful and fast without the complication of lengthy research to find the right product then look at Algolia. Remember the saying "nobody gets fired for buying IBM"? Same should go for picking Algolia for product search.
Don't build your own search and use Algolia instead
What do you like best about the product?
Algolia has been a great alternative to building our own search solution. It has taken care of everything we need in a search tool and it is well documented and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be very expensive, especially if you need search for all your non production environments (qa, staging). You end up building your own search or disabling search to avoid going over your limit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem was having a fast and easy search functionality without having to maintain it all the time. We've realized that more functionality like search can be delegated to a third party service.
Very nice documentation, easy to integrate
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of integration and nicely organized documentation
What do you dislike about the product?
I couldn't find a resource to maybe design it by myself, but not necessarily a bad thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not having a dedicated endpoint and logic for searching our docs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need easy to integrate solution for making your docs searchable, algolia is the thing.
Great service!
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it was to integrate to our docs. Docusaurus supports algolia and many other services support algolia out of the box for indexing. It's also free so it saved a lot of time for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
For free there wasn't a way to make algolia work offline out of the box.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It made finding the right docs much easier and improved our use of development docs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easy to integrate and get setup with, it makes getting indices up and running much quicker.
An easy to use, amazing product
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to use and add information. The platform is very intuitive and searches are lightning fast. The documentation is pretty easy to follow and is very extensive. They offer tiers which offer easy entry for any size of a business.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the documentation could be easier to navigate. Other than that I couldn't be happier using Algolia.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a small project Algolia has enabled me to setup searching within my app with minimal effort. The response is super quick and the customization/configuration that it allow is a big plus.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just give it a try with their community tear and you will see why its amazing.
Best search as a service solution for Laravel
What do you like best about the product?
Algolia can help my services to find the data faster than in a second, even if it's written wrong.
Good documentation and nice Laravel/Vue.js plugins out of the box — means very simple and straightforward integration with almost any product.
You can integrate their search less than one hour!

What do you dislike about the product?
Only problem I found was in the Hebrew (and probably Arabic) language search. Also pricing could be too big than self managing a elastic search for big projects. But for small projects would be enough even free tier!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used algolia in my customers’ web-sites: multilingual search, multiple entity search, full-text search for products and categories for ecommerce, and even show products by category and filters directly from their API without my backend. It was easy to integrate, fast
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No doubt, it could save a lot of hours
A great search engine that requires minimal setup
What do you like best about the product?
It’s a great search engine that requires minimal setup to get going.
I found the ReactJS sdk easy to use and enabled me to have a poc ready in 1h.
They have a comprehensive rest api that allowed us to easily ingest new data.
The response time of under 200ms was one of the factors that helped improve our conversion rates

As you type search with misspells helped our customers in the region as most people in dubai are expats and their first language is not english.
Managed to considerably improve our pages load time which helped improve our conversion rates
