A fast, flexible, full-featured search solution
Algolia is used as our primary search tool on www.opieoils.co.uk , providing search results primarily for products, but also matching relevant categories. Our previous search implementation was not as fast and did not allow us to tweak relevancy in the same way that Algolia does.
- Speed of displaying results
- Flexibility - can index pretty much any data and doesn't enforce any fixed schema
- Provision for merchandising / offers / "manipulation" of search results for marketing
- Lots of documentation, but hard to pull it all together
- Very focused on front end javascript; you'll need skills in this area to implement
- Merchandising could be easier to implement
- Quick and easy access to our product catalogue
- Hard to judge ROI, but customer feed back is good
Algolia offered a more flexible toolset for us, and a faster, better experience for our customers.

Save setup costs, free up your engineering team, empower others to manage your search and more!
Algolia allowed us to set up and configure product and category search very quickly without managing and maintaining additional services such as elastic search. It took the burden of lengthy configuration away and allowed engineering teams' time to be focused much less on interpreting product requirements for search bugs and features to managing or pointing others to a well designed set of options in Algolia.
- Easy setup and configuration of fast search results across multiple types of object
- Can be used to power sales pages, category headings, category product listings, help articles and more within the same search results
- Managing synonyms, blocked words and other product requirements can be done without engineering support
- Allowing multiple users and having versioning of changes by users and the ability to roll back based on dates/deltas would have been useful
- Quick setup due to strong documentation and support
- No maintenance burdens
- Simplification of configuration
- Freed up developer time
- Empowered product and marketing folk to control site elements directly
- Delivered more performance dynamic listings and search than previously existed
Algolia got us up and running faster and more easily than if we'd managed elastic search and it's configuration by ourselves. Upfront and ongoing costs and complications/ custom implementations were removed from the equation by choosing Algolia out of the gate.

One developer has the majority of knowledge around Algolia but it is somewhat distributed among a couple of others for redundancy.
- Site Search for; Product, Category, Help Q&A
- Dynamically sorting sale pages based on updated sales/click data
- Populating sortable and searchable lists for internal administrative pages
- Combining multiple lists for a single set of search results
- Leveraging search to generate certain sale pages where ranking needed to be complicated and partly user-managed
- Reviewing searches with no results to identify popular products we need to bring back
The support we received as a regular customer with reasonable volume was perfectly adequate.
Yes
Bugs were either fixed with a suggested workaround or raised to the dev team and fixed in the upcoming release as a priority (within 1-2 weeks max)
We were put in contact with the development team a couple of times which is rare but very nice to have when you are a team of developers yourselves. It's great to be able to describe a problem using the same communication style and specific language to help the issue be understood and resolved correctly.

Goooooaaaallll..... Algolia
As software developers, we are often called upon to develop web applications that offer enterprise-grade search experiences, with analytics and all the bells and whistles. Fortunately, Algolia makes this a snap. Our primary development framework is Laravel and Algolia integrates with Scout beautifully. Algolia also provides a backend for our clients to access analytics, salt their indexes with synonyms, etc. Algolia offers an incredibly fast and full-featured powerful solution set at a very reasonable price point. We love the ease of implementation and our clients couldn't be happier with the results.
- Excellent search results
- Easy integration
- Great analytics
- Blazing speed
- Leverage AI/ML more and deliver those services to their non-premium subscribers
- Automatic synonym suggestion / salting
- Provide more examples for the frontend javascript search
- Speed
- Affordability
- Ease of Implementation
- The functionality generally delights our clients
- Implementation is simple and keeps costs low
- Analytics are incredibly empowering
We found the implementation and specifically the built-in integration with Laravel hard to pass up.

Don't build your own search, use Algolia.
Currently used as a search engine for our bill payment service www.paysimply.ca . Customers are using it to find the biller that they need to pay. The fuzzy logic works well and the search is better than anything we would have developed internally.
- Search speed is excellent.
- Configurability is also excellent.
- Fuzzy Logic really helps our customers when they misspell a search.
- I can't think of any
- It's too early to measure any increase in our transactions
- We have good customer feedback on the Algolia search function
- We are looking at other apps in development where we can also leverage the power of Algolia

We use Algolia as a search engine in our applications. We monitor the searches to determine if we need to adjust our indexes so users can find the products we offer. Our product managers use the data to determine which products are popular.

Our dev team uses it in our apps and product managers use it for monitoring user product search behaviour.
- Product search
- Search UI
- Synonyms for searches help us respond to user behaviour to increase product search results
- We will be using it in all of our future apps that need search.
- We are now using it for 2 different apps.
