Search Solutions

Hi-
I am working on selecting a search solution to pair with my builder.io implementation. I know there is a plugin to Algolia that exists but I am curious what other search solutions have been commonly integrated and what folks perspective on those integrations are with respect to working with builder.io.

Currently, Algolia would be the best solution. It is integrated with Builder via our plugin, you can check the docs on it here: Algolia Plugin | Builder.io - Builder.io

I would also recommend checking out Constructor as a search solution

I’ve mixed a few search tools into Builder.io, and the smoothest setups were the ones with simple APIs and flexible indexing rules. Algolia is solid, but OpenSearch or Meilisearch can feel easier to tweak. I’ve also used face2social.com for quick image-based lookups when I needed to match user-uploaded photos with social profiles, and its fast responses made testing search flows a bit less painful.
