Algolia Search is a hosted full-text, numerical, and faceted search engine capable of delivering realtime results from the first keystroke.

This extension replaces the default search of Magento with a typo-tolerant, fast & relevant search experience backed by Algolia. It's based on algoliasearch-client-php and algoliasearch-client-js.

Contribute to the Extension

1. Docker (recommended)

The easiest way to setup your development environment is to use Docker. If you're a Mac user, use boot2docker to run docker containers.

Setup the docker instance

Just run the following script to setup a running Magento 1.9.1 instance with some sample data & the Algolia Search extension installed:

$ ./dev/restart.sh -a YourApplicationID \
               -k YourAdminAPIKey \
               -s YourSearchOnlyAPIKey \
               -p YourIndexPrefix \
               -b http://`boot2docker ip`/ # change that if you're not using boot2docker

Administration panel

Administration login is admin with password magentorocks1 and you can access it from http://[boot2docker ip]/admin.

Phpmyadmin

A phpmyadmin instance is available from http://[boot2docker ip]/phpmyadmin

Shell

You can execute a shell inside the container with the following command:

$ docker exec -i -t algoliasearch-magento /bin/bash

2. Modman

If you do not want to use docker. You can use modman (a module manager for Magento) by running the following commands:

$ cd /path/to/your/magento/directory
$ modman init
$ modman clone https://github.com/algolia/algoliasearch-magento.git
