Instant-search demo (facets, sliders, paginations & more)

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 own APPLICATION_ID instead of "latency" (which is our demo APPLICATION_ID),
• in js/app.js, set your own SEARCH_ONLY_API_KEY instead of "6be0576ff61c053d5f9a3225e2a90f76",
• in js/app.js, set your own index 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.
