Product Description

Algolia is an API built for developers that delivers relevant results in your mobile apps and websites from the first keystroke.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Other companies such as Elasticsearch and Solr work well out-of-the-box for document search, but delivering a fully-featured, user-friendly search with them requires a lot of additional investment.

Algolia’s highly-optimized infrastructure is distributed across the world in 15 regions and 47 data centers. Algolia provides a 99.99% reliability guarantee and can deliver a fast search to users wherever in the world they’re connecting from. Elasticsearch and Solr do not automatically distribute to multiple regions, and doing so can incur significant server costs and devops resources.

Very easy to setup and personalize. From the start, all you've got to do is setup algolia with the keys from your project and configure the index to use from your app (We use Algolia with PHP - Laravel).

One of the most useful settings available are the synonyms, that enable you to configure similar words to show relevant user the correct results.

In contrast to the traditional approaches of question answering, we opted for Algolia which makes the research interactive and intuitive by proposing relevant results in the course of seizure. The good points also notable are the support for several languages, the ability to establish a geolocation searches,the typo tolerance, the synonym support ... The dashboard is very modern, like the brand, and offers a fairly thorough analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Indexing can be complicated to set up without the help of support.
