Algolia - the future of free text search
What do you like best about the product?
I like the speed that I can implamnt a complex test search at a low price and high performance and accuracy. The fast ramp-up and implementation are very impressive, which is my go-to solution for this kind of task. I like the framework and the React components that they provide to connect the search in your application, such as the backend implementation that was for most of my clients just writing two firebase cloud functions that reflect the changes in the database and move it to Alolia.
The indexing speed for extensive scale data was super fast, and the search yield accurate results almost right away.
Also, the tutorials on the web were helpful, and I understood that a large community uses this product, and I am in the right way. Also, the firebase official docs recommend using this tool for this specific problem that I was facing.
All of that - but the best part is the low amount of code you need to deploy and maintain to get this result.

What do you dislike about the product?
The free tier is very generous, but some clients needed more time and large-scale opportunities to see the system in action on live production data.
Also, sometimes the customer raised concern about having two sets of databases, one for search and one for operations, as to migrate the existing one to Aloliga was a big task.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Algolia to solve a problem., I use Alogolia as a database for open text search that in some databases don't have this capability in the desired standards and perfonce. Many of my clients use Firebase firestore that doesn't have free text search (some as other limitations). In many apps, this is a critical feature of the system. I hooked up Algolia to the firestore via Firebase could function, and now I can offer a free text search to my clients

Just a easy and fast way of improving my web and get great feedback from customers
What do you like best about the product?
Really easy to understand how everything works and you see the results right away on the web. Plus the support team answers really fast so i have all the answers back right away.
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess it just would be nicer as a big company that we would have 1 of our own people from Algolia that will answer the questions we have and maybe give some advice as a person who knows what algolia can make with our web
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The top products in categories, synonyms for easier results, and little personalisation on web.
Algolia: instant search with few work and best results
What do you like best about the product?
Dashboard is very easy to use in all its functionalities. There is a complete set of function to manage every aspect without writing a single line of code.
You need to do things programmatically? Algolia offers easy to use libraries written in many languages (javascript, php, java, etc...) to have full control of every aspect of index/crawler configuration / interrogation.
Also everything is well documented in their docs.
You need any help? Support team replies fast and with accuracy.
How service works? They accomplish their promises: index queries resolves very fast in every scenario, even with thousands of objects in a single index. Your customer will have a very instant search experience.

What do you dislike about the product?
Crawler part is a little bit a black box, even if configuration is well explained. You cannot make ajax calls in it's execution (even if, to be honest, it is not recommended at all).
There is no xls/csv export of crawler logs and so they are not so easy to analyze through the dashboard.
Query suggestion part maybe is lacking of some custom configurations and docs are not so clear as other functionalities.

Provide an ecommerce with a instant search user experience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read theirs docs.
Avoid crawler part if not needed. Use their API in server-side to update your indexes.
Having 1 index per country/language will easy query suggestion part.

What do you like best about the product?
Great documentation and the features provided by the algolia. specially how it intergrates with framworks such as laravel, flask etc . . . and most impotantly the incredible search it provides. also amount of customization it has it incredible. i was able to fine tune the search engine to provide the best solution and search results that my customers expected. ai ranking is very good. custom ranking was easy to use. from php/laravel i was able to customize the data models uploaded to the algolia. also happy with the speed it works.
What do you dislike about the product?
the web ui is bit slow and sometimes does not update data displayed. it uses react so its bit heavy. also php documentaion support is not updated in some time. its still showing old php documentaions. documentation is veavily fragmented to the point some times its very hard to undestand or make sence of it.

used algolia in a project to improve search of thar application suite. using algolia we could tune the algorithem to our liking and was able to hit the standars we were expecting. by using cutome rankings we tuned the search algorithem to do out biding. results was withing out expectation and beyond. overtime we saw a increase in site traffic and algolia usage. we also were able to utilize the algolia provided analytics to further improve the search rankings to our liking.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you need a search engine that works almost out of the box and easier to setup, algolia will serve you the best!
Must-have for a good search experience
What do you like best about the product?
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.

Algolia solves all search-related problems.
You create your index; it does all the rest of the job for you.

Algolia is a great tool and has great staff
What do you like best about the product?
Whenever something is wrong, Clemente immediately follows up with a helpful solution
What do you dislike about the product?
A little bit difficult to customize docsearch visually
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing users to search our documentation
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!

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it takes a while for Algolia to index new pages, but it's never too long.

Algolia makes my app documentation searchable with a nice interface that also blends in well with the design of my documentation. Users use my documentation more, leading to fewer support questions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
their team is very responsive.
Wonderful solution to provide search in our products easy and fast
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the simplitity of algolia. It is easy to use and implement in various scenarios.
What do you dislike about the product?
Now, after using Algolia for some time, there isn't much that I don't like. But one thing was a bit confusing at first for me: The Unit system. It was first hard to understand for me, that these units are used for both search querys and index records. Maybe a bit clearer description would be helpful there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest benefit I have over other solutions (for example ElasticSearch) is, that there are official, first-party search UI frameworks. Others have something simmilar as well, but by far not so feature rich. Especially React InstantSearch was a big time saver implementing search in our project.
Great tool, great support and super scalable
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to create an Algolia account, easy to implement and test it and superobust and scalable. There is basically no limit to what you can do. The onboarding was really smooth and self explanatory. The flexibility of Algolia is perfect. The analytics dashboard is great and offer deep insights about our business. It's super easy to update your indexes and very safe for our data. There are a lot of ressources availables to create the right search tool for our activity. The safety of Algolia is great and it makes sure nobody can steal your data.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To create my search tool with customizable parameters and collect analytics to help me grow my business.
It took us 30 minutes to be up and running. Support has been helpful and very reactive when needed. Algolia has helped us improve our user experience and scalability.

Easy to set up, generous free tier
What do you like best about the product?
Overal it's a very modern feeling service. Great documentation including good examples. I was up and running in about an hour, including integrating it with a static site build process and a basic front end.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far there's nothing to dislike. I'm not sure how well the pricing scales for production but for my limited traffic site it's perfect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed a search service that I could use with a static jamstack site with no access to a database. Algol is filled that need perfectly, and at no cost for my small use case.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get a test up and running with the provided code examples before trying to customize anything.
