Hello, Happy New Years Zeroqode fam. I’m trying to understand the Algolia search plugin documentation but it’s really hard to follow. Is there a tutorial video for how to set it up or an easy to follow article? I have setup the API keys and some other settings that had screenshots but I’m not anywhere close to make this functional.
Any video or article or better documentations would be greatly appreciated. This is my last step before launch.
Hi @yugule.com, thanks for reaching out.
For the Algolia Search V. 2.0 Plugin, there is only its documentation where you can find a step-by-step guide to set it up. Unfortunately, there is no video tutorial for this plugin.
Also, you can check the Algolia documentation itself and other Zeroqode and Bubble forums threads regarding this plugin.
If you didn’t find the answer to some issues, please share with us more information about this, screenshots of your setup and steps to reproduce it would be very helpful to us for a better understanding of how to solve it.
As well, please check your setup with the plugins demo editor page and take a look if you filled out everything in order to work on your side.
Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information.
Happy New Year!
Best regards,
I understand. My first question is how to create the index using the API and keep it synced? Is it possible? If so, how do I do that?
Ok, I figured out most of the API part but when setting up the API, what is the Object ID? Where do I get it from?
Also, how do I send data from the search bar to the search results page?
Hi @yugule.com, thanks for your question.
You can find all of your Objects inside your Algolia Dashboard under the index page, each object has a unique ID that is assigned automatically when created. If you need the object id to match the one in the bubble id, add the field objectID with bubble unique id value to the object.
For this, you have to set up Algolia plugin inside your Bubble editor and create one workflow that triggers searches when the search value has changed.
Please check the Demo Editor page to compare it with your setup.
Please try my suggestions and let me know if they helped. 
Best regards,
