Also - note that this is a private group thread just for alpha testers 
Hey @allenyang any update on the release of this if you can share? Looking forward to trying it out!
What is the difference between this and the Plugin available from @ZeroqodeSupport?
The alpha is still ongoing, but we think we’ll be able to move to the (open) beta phase soon!
@nocodeventure - I’m not intimately familiar with the plugin, but this is being built as a native feature, so will be kind of like Google Maps / Geocode in terms of UX. You’ll be able to control what gets sent to Algolia via the Privacy page, and Algolia will show up as a data source for elements. One difference might be that with the v1 of our implementation, only the fully public fields of a data type will be indexed, whereas it seems like the plugin gives you more granular control over what you send to the index.

I bought and tested. The documentation is not great but it’s super fast when you manage to set it up. I was actually playing around with it yesterday and ran into a few issues with geo though.
@allenyang I would be interested in testing but need to hear that geographic searching with some kind of radius search would be available. Is that on the cards?
Geographic searching is not part of v1, but is a candidate for v2
Awesome!

Hi @allenyang Just checking in regarding the status of this moving to public beta. If not soon can I message you directly to still be added to the alpha? Thanks.
It should hopefully be soon-ish; reaching out to you via DM to discuss timing!

Is there a limit to how much we could send to Algolia?
There’s no extra limit on our side beyond the limits on Algolia’s side.
Please note that this feature has moved to Beta and is now available to all (Professional plan and above)
See this thread for the announcement: [New feature] [Beta] Algolia search integration!
