Hey hunters, We are super excited to announce our Search by Algolia plugin for WordPress. Help us bring relevancy, instant search and autocomplete capabilities to almost 30% of the internet!!! It’s already live on @jasonlk's @saastr blog & on @BostonVC's forentrepreneurs.com (Thanks for the support guys!) With our new plugin, every WordPress user will be able to leverage Algolia in just a few clicks, and replace the default WordPress site search with a blazing fast, highly relevant search engine. We’re going to iterate a lot on the plugin over the next few months (it was built with love by @rayrutjes) - Try it out and let us know what you think!

@dessaigne @jasonlk @saastr @bostonvc @rayrutjes have been waiting for this! I actually was going to hack something up ! good timing! We are taking it live at http://www.yogatailor.com/blog

@rameshdot0 Looking forward to try it live on your blog!

@dessaigne spoke too soon, apparently we are on a PHP version that;s a little behind, we will have to wait till we upgrade our PHP
Raymond RUTJES
@rameshdot0 @dessaigne Normally we support down to PHP 5.3, what PHP version do you have?

Content marketing relies on search - and we struggled in our portfolio companies and at SFDC to get search to work kick ass on the blogs and sites. With Algolia, you can now have the best search app inside your websites. Exciting.

Not at all noob friendly. No proper documentation available on how to get started. Only settings available are for connecting to Algolia with the APIs
Raymond RUTJES
@rajupp I'm sorry to hear you are struggling, and this plugin is definitely intended for users of all backgrounds. Have you checked the documentation here: https://community.algolia.com/wo... It is an in depth step by step guide. If there is something missing, please tell me, I'd gladly add sections!
Liam Boogar
Hey @rajupp, hope your first initial impressions didn't turn you off from giving it a try. Take it from this noob, we really strive to make this plugin as easy as possible to use for any Wordpress Blog owner as possible. I'd love to take 5 minutes to see how you experienced the plugin onboarding, to see where we could make it more intuitive. I'm confident we can bring a great search experience to your blog! Feel free to DM me.

Great to see you guys officially supporting Algolia on Wordpress. I've been a big fan of your search, and love to see an even easier way to implement it into my "daily driver", Wordpress. Awesome work!
Raymond RUTJES
@dylanbrendan Thanks a lot for the nice works, really appreciated! Let us know if you need any help!
Jonathan Nabais
Nice move, I was looking for a powerful search like Algolia for wordpress since weeks ! Unfortunalety my blog is in French and I won't put English words on it. So is it open to translation? If yes, it would be a pleasure to help you make translation for you in French :) Can't wait to hear good news from you
Liam Boogar
@jonathannabais Hey Jonathan, looks like you didn't immediately get the response you were looking for, but hopefully this will still help: Algolia is language-agnostic, so it works in any language out-of-the-box. I'd personally love to see your implementation - let me know if you need a hand!
Dima Braven
Gorgeous
Pierre de France

José Antonio Díaz Campanario

Queen Raae
So far been a joy to work with, will go live with it in a couple of weeks :D
Raymond RUTJES
Sounds great @raae, be sure you share your implementation so we can push it to the community ;)
Michael Musgrove
Looks great! - Light weight, too.
David Carpe
this looks excellent - will it also work with bbpress forum content?
Raymond RUTJES
@passingnotes the plugin is able to index custom post types, then it comes down to the bbpress specifics. Give it a try! I'd gladly take some time making it bbPress friendly!
David Carpe
@rayrutjes thanks - site isn't live so nothing to test it on but hopefully somebody sees this thread and tries it out!
