Algolia Search
You can use Algolia to enhance the search in your HTML5 Help Center outputs. When set up correctly, Algolia search replaces Paligo's default search and gives your help center a faster, more customizable search. It works even if your site uses authentication and you can set it up to give results as soon as a user enters three characters of a search query.
Algolia has many features for customizing your search and also supports faceted search, where users can apply filters to the search results.
To use Algolia search with your HTML5 Help Center(s), you need:
-
An Algolia account
-
A Paligo account on the Business or Enterprise plan (you will need to log in as an administrator)
For instructions on connecting Paligo to Algolia, see Set Paligo to use Algolia Search.
Note
When you have Algolia search working with Paligo, you can also set up Algolia faceted search. This is a more advanced search where users can apply filters to the search results.
If you prefer, you can use regular Algolia search without faceted search.
