Instant-Search Demo
This is a sample project implementing an instant-search based e-commerce website with Algolia. Algolia is a Search API that provides hosted full-text, numerical and faceted search.
Features
- Full JavaScript (based on jQuery, Hogan.js and AlgoliaSearch)
- Results page refreshed as you type
- Hits
- Facets
- Pagination
- Relevant results from the first keystroke
- Typo-tolerance
- Multiple sort orders
- By Relevance
- By Highest Price
- By Lowest Price
- Backup search parameters in the URL
Usage
We've included some credentials in the code allowing you to test the demo without any Algolia account. If you want to replicate this demo using your own Algolia credentials, you can use the push.rb
script to send the data and configure the indices.
./push.rb YourApplicationID YourAPIKey YourIndexName
Then, you'll need to replace the demo credentials with your own ones:
- in
js/app.js
, set your ownAPPLICATION_ID
instead of"latency"
(which is our demoAPPLICATION_ID
), - in
js/app.js
, set your ownSEARCH_ONLY_API_KEY
instead of"6be0576ff61c053d5f9a3225e2a90f76"
, - in
js/app.js
, set your ownindex
name instead of"bestbuy"
.
Data Set
We've extracted 10,000 products from the Best Buy Developer API. You can find the associated documentation here.
