"Practical and very insightful"
What do you like best about Algolia?

Algolia is very versatile. We can easily make AB tests, verify which indexes have good results and which don't and easily re-rank the search to put the most relevant items in a better position.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Algolia is a pricy solution and a few things require a bit more knowledge of how the tool works, such as the creation of rules

What problems is Algolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Algolia is easily re-ranking the products that have a higher conversion rate and also making it easy to create indexes to test hipothesis

"Awesome Search tool for websites"
What do you like best about Algolia?

Algolia is the best search tool available there right now. Its API is superfast and is working like a charm. The API is remarkably optimised and integrated seamlessly with our environment setup.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

There is nothing to dislike about Algolia. There are some minor issues as they have made their dashboard UI is bit clunky. This resulted in more struggle to understand what e are doing sometimes entirely.

What problems is Algolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are building many Ecommerce solutions for the business, and the one particular need with every Ecommerce store is the search functionality. Algoiia is saving us from the headache of creating custom search endpoints. We are utilising the power of Algolia to generate a search API.

- Easy-to-understand documentation - Easy to load data and try out various queries - Great UX on their console

What problems is Algolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Algolia helps our users to search for specific data within our platform. We use it in multiple projects namely nft marketplace, searching streamers, videos and other media content

"Algolia: the best search engine for products"
What do you like best about Algolia?

There are several advantages of using Algolia - 1. Easy to integrate and understand. 2. Provides client side JS library to include and create a boilerplate for performing search on platforms.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

Some of the features of Algolia, like dynamic re-ranking and artificial intelligence, are paid. Aloglia also limits the number of records you can index and can become costly very quickly if not used properly.

What problems is Algolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

We index all our documentation text into Algolia and create indices on top of it. We customise the default algorithm provided by Algolia as per our needs. Search results are retrieved quickly.

"Great contributor to the Jenkins open source project"
What do you like best about Algolia?

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 Algolia?

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 Algolia 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.

"Algolia is the best search engine functionality provider"
What do you like best about Algolia?

I like the best part of Algolia is that it integrates with various platforms and frameworks, including popular content management systems (CMS) like WordPress and Shopify.

What do you dislike about Algolia?

after all, Algolia is a powerful and reliable search engine as a service that is suitable for a variety of applications and websites. However, it may not be the best fit for projects with a large amount of data or those that require offline functionality

What problems is Algolia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Its fast search capabilities are achieved through a distributed search network and real-time indexing, which helped me in my medium-scale project and for search index, it is beneficial to me.
