hey everyone 👋

did anyone already consider (or actually implement) integration of Algolia search services into Spryker?

Spryker’s ootb Elasticsearch solution is good, but for certain aspects it’s worth considering using a product that’s tailored for that, not having to deal with implementation/maintenance/hosting oneself, so I am curious 🙂

    I was working with Algolia for pretty long time and consider it as very very nice tool as a search engine

    Sounds good, but spryker wise to replace the "normal" search?

    Hey Andreas
    We also were looking at Algolia but in another prospective 🙂
    Now we are researching what should be enhanced in Spryker’s ootb Elasticsearch capabilities

    P.S. If you have an ideas already, do not be shy to submit them at our Idea portal , it will be a great help for us. https://spryker.ideas.aha.io/ideas

    thx Andrew. I am aware of ideas portal. I am also aware, that certain ES aspects have been posted there and have been categorized either with no or with low priority after review

    Which is understandable, as Spryker is far more than “just” the search area, but factors into decision making, as you’ll understand

    in theory you need to replace/modify search client to call the service you want. more you can keep interface the same, less changes you need to after that

    I one project we replaced search with external API and it was relatively easy to do since we kept the same return values, so the rest of the system was not even aware that we are calling something else

    that’s for yves part and sounds absolutely valid.

    for data indexing (zed), I assume one could even try to use p&s approach and sync to Algolia using their API (PHP SDK available) instead of elasticsearch

    curious if someone already did it though 🙂

    When we used algolia in one of other non spryker projects, we executed queries directly against algolia and then parsed the result for view. It was SPA application. The backend was responsible for the indexing
