Hi there,  
Thank you for your question!

It’s not a plugin’s or Algolia’s bug. This is how Bubble and browser work together.

Unfortunately, I don’t think there is a solution to fix that. This side effect appears pretty often when images in repeating groups getting updated from a different source (Bubble Database, Algolia, API etc)

Hey @BubbleSam,

Is there a way to make the Algolia Search respect Privacy settings, or will it always retrieve all results from the searched data type (like the bubble native implementation)?

I’m talking about sensitive data like for example customer info belonging to different tenants.

Hi @zavitac,  
Thank you for your question! The extension doesn’t have special rules for privacy settings. It works like Bubble’s native plugin

Thanks for your prompt reply. Is there any recommendation you would give for this use case? (I have clients with 2500+ contacts, and the search & autocorrect can’t handle it anymore. It’s driving me mad.)

Can this plugin filter search results?

for example  
Display only those that contain 5 in field1 of the search result.

“Advanced Algolia Search” cannot be searched by multiple conditions. Therefore, it seems that it is not very easy to use.

“Algolia Search V2.0” seems to be able to search by multiple conditions. So I think everyone should buy “Algolia Search V2.0”.

There are too many patterns that are useless since I bought the bubble plugin. I wish I could get a refund …

Hi there,  
The easiest way is to download your Bubble database and upload it to Algolia 🙂

Hi @BubbleSam, since a few days, the plugin shows the following error on mobile devices. Could you please have a look at it?

Thanks BubbleSam! So you have to upload your whole database to Algolia?

Only the necessary information 🙂

> When adding data to your records, you need to be selective. For example, if you’re working with a product line, you don’t need to send every piece of information about your products. **Algolia only needs what serves the purposes of search**. It includes all the necessary information to find products, rank them, and display them on your website or application.

Hello @BubbleSam ,

I just bought your plugin but I have an important question.

What about updated or deleted records ?

How can you manage that kind of situation with that plugin ?  
Did I miss something ?

How do you select an item from your list of results to add to a custom state? I exported the data from Bubble and uploaded CSV to Algolia. Linked API. Getting great results in a repeating group. Repeating group displaying fields 1 - 5 have added a check box in each cell but now having trouble saving the field1 value
