Scout for Craft CMS
Craft CMS plugin that keeps Algolia full-text search indexes in sync with Craft entries.
Scout for Craft CMS is a Craft plugin that adds full-text search to Craft entries. It keeps Algolia search indexes in sync with the entries, and each index is defined in the site’s config file with an element type, a criteria function and a transformer for the data sent to Algolia.
The plugin is installed with Composer into a Craft project and then activated from the Craft command line. Studio Espresso maintains it.
Worth knowing
Search runs on Algolia, a hosted service: the configuration takes an Algolia application ID and admin API key, so an Algolia account is needed for indexing and search.
