What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of WordPress Plugin Support.
Had to take an existing fork of their WordPress plugin and further customise it... but was worth it.

Best search for documentation sites
What do you like best about the product?
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.
A performant full text search with highly tunable parameters
What do you like best about the product?
I like the speed of the queries and along with the web UI provided for configuring indexes. There are lots of parameters to make the searches work as you expected, even with misspelled inputs. I like the idea of creating replicas of your data with different parameters for different search use cases. It then becomes very clear which index you wish to use later on and so you receive predictable outcomes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the react plugin for instant search, at least the version I am on right now, because it is very difficult to clear the cache for the results. In my use case, the fields on the data change regularly. The results will return the old values until the entire component is unloaded and then reloaded.
I also wish the logs were easier to filter and review in the web browser. Currently, I have the best results when I pull down all the logs locally and filter the text with another program. It would be nice to see more results on the browser, or be able to filter them by the contents of the operation.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Full-text fuzzy search is why we depend on Algolia. Being able to combine multiple data sets in one index is great for discoverability. Firestore lacks many querying features and so pairing it with Algolia covers our needs, though it does complicate things a bit and increase our bill.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Algolia is an excellent solution for full-text fuzzy search with support for handling typos. It also has many features you might not know you could benefit from.
An amazing service that supports Open Source
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
From my experience, there is nothing that I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing search capabilities on the Vuetify documentation. Significantly improved user experience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Search is such an important feature, and Algolia nails it. Give it a try, and you'll never look back; fantastic software.
Fast and reliable search without reinventing the wheel
What do you like best about the product?
Algolia offers detailed documentation on every topic of its API and modules for all popular JS frameworks, making it clear to implement and fun to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve can be a little steep in the beginning, especially when you have a non-default use-case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Implementing fast and reliable search in any webapplication.
It is great for anything ranging from e-commerce search or niche usecases like hashtag autocompletion.

Excellent dev experience
What do you like best about the product?
The documentation is easy to understand and concise, the new-ish pricing model is amazing, the learning curve is straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By going static, its making searching my websites so much easier.

Great plug-in and results
What do you like best about the product?
I love how well it integrates with my store and line the results or gives back. It's exactly what I was looking for.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
Seamless integration, with a lot of flexibility.
What do you like best about the product?
Algolia is the most seamless integration with its multiple SDKs. It is also easy to keep indexes synchronised. Algolia has a unique way of searching through attributes, also adaptable and able to provide you with business intelligence from your data such as if an item on your website is on offer. This will give you a competitive edge in the market by providing users with excellent experience, that's exactly what Algolia has helped us achieve. I'd recommend Algolia if you want to hit the ground running.
What do you dislike about the product?
Algolia is a slightly expensive tool but provides better services than its competitors. Also doesn't seem to work well with unstructured data, also when your systems are on-premise you would leverage Algolia features, unfortunately.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am building a job placement technology, search is critical here to find the right person for the job. Keywords are so important during recruitment for both the job seeker and the recruiter that's why we use Algolia's fast blazing APIs to deliver excellent experiences.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to build a reliable, fast search for your application, choose Algolia. You can integrate with all platforms and deliver the best service to your users.
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
