To explain the use case :
It’s like a search on Upwork
The user selects some keywords like (accounting and finance).
And a list of experts with these skills will be displayed.
But we need to display also people with only one of the 2 skills.
For that we need the “Optional Words” configuration.
I have checked with our Developers team regarding your query for displaying multiple search results. I regret to tell you this, it seems like the plugin Algolia does not have an option to operate with two keywords at the same time, therefore the results of the search only display the outcome for the first word.
Let me know if there is something else we can help you with.
Ok. I found a workaround that is definitely not ideal but works.
I will create a new post to share it, in case someone else needs to perform this kind of “Upwork” search.
If you launch a new version of your plugin and allow to add Query strategy it will be nice !
Happy you found a workaround for your case! Thanks for sharing it with others, it will definitely be a useful asset.
I will let know our Developers team about your request for a Query strategy implemented with the plugin functionality.
Our developer team is now considering the feasibility of adding the faceted search feature, as well as adding an Algolia facet search example to the demo.
Kindly note that it might take some time, as it is a quite complex feature.
In case any update will come to live, we will let you know
By this message, I would like to notify you that we have significantly upgraded the Algolia 2.0 - Simple search plugin and added a lot of features, including the Faceted Search. Additionally, now are possible these features:
“Algolia is loading” action;
Get All Date;
Set setting;
Add new Item;
Improved search;
Please upgrade the plugin to the latest version and give it a try. Hope these features will be helpful for you
Hi @evodev
I would like to set up a similar kind of “upwork” search, with OR result and not AND result (possible inside algolia with “optional words”).
You said you found a workaround. Could you share it ?
Thanks a lot!
Get a list of users which contain first all the profil with all the expertises selected, then all the profil whith all expertises minus one etc…
Here is how we achieved it :
Create a multidrop down select where you list the expertises (we limited the number to 3 expertises maximum)
Add repeating group
Create a conditional where item 3 of the expertises multidrop down list is not empty. (This mean that you have 3 expertises selected).
On data source put :
Search for users, where :
Expertise contains expertise 1
Expertise contains expertise 2
Expertise contains expertise 3
Now you will have a list of all users which have the 3 (all) expertises.
Then add a “merged with” after the first “search for users” but with this filters :
Expertise contains expertise 1
Expertise contains expertise 2
Expertise doesn’t contain expertise 3
No, unfortunately not, at the moment it is possible to use only one query parameter, either an input value or external API provider data. (text)
Please check the plugin demo editor page and the supporting documentation for additional information related to this.
We will also check with the dev team and investigate how feasible is to implement the requested feature in the nearest plugin update. Once it happens - we will let you know, but, at the moment, we’re unable to provide you with an approximate time estimate since this feature request is a low priority.
Thank you for your understanding.
If you require any further information, feel free to contact me.

HI @ferhatgulbahar,
Thank you for reaching out, and sorry for the late reply due to the weekend.
We’ve passed your request to the dev team for additional investigation, we have to check if something has been changed on the Algolia side because the above options used to be available.
Once any news will become available, we will let you know asap, thank you for your understanding.
If there will be any other plugin-related questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,
Zeroqode Support Team.
Glad to announce that we have updated the plugin, returning all the Result states back. Please update the plugin to the latest version - 3.24.0.
And let us know if everything is ok now.
