Great service!

Best search as a service solution for Laravel

A great search engine that requires minimal setup

The response time of under 200ms was one of the factors that helped improve our conversion rates What do you dislike? the need to create separate indexes to be able to do sorting. Recommendations to others considering the ...

Easy to Use and Powerful

What do you like best? Usually something easy isn't that powerful but Algolia is great at it. We use Algolia manually as a replacement for Zendesk help center search which is extremely limited in functionality. Through their YouTube channel and help docs I was able to get up and running without having to talk to their support team at all. It's also a nice modern interface. Search usually isn't that way and it's very technical. You can tell Algolia spent a lot of time making the ...

Fast and Easy to Implement

What do you like best? The speed at which search results are returned. What do you dislike? It can get expensive if you have a large number of records, regardless of the search volume. Recommendations to others considering the product: Keep the amount of data you store for each record as small as possible -- limiting it to only what will be searched on and displayed. To minimize costs, avoid using multiple indexes like you would multiple tables in a database. A search that ...
