Configuring Search
If appropriately configured, Grai has a powerful search function.
Algolia
Grai search is powered by Algolia. To get started you will need to create an account on Algolia at https://www.algolia.com/users/sign_up (opens in a new tab).
You will need to set the following environment variables:
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_ID | This is your unique application identifier. It's used to identify you when using Algolia's API. |
| ALGOLIA_ADMIN_KEY | This is the ADMIN API key. Please keep it secret and use it ONLY from your backend: this key is used to create, update and DELETE your indices. You can also use it to manage your API keys. |
| ALGOLIA_SEARCH_KEY | This is the public API key to use in your frontend code. This key is only usable for search queries and sending data to the Insights API. |
Indexing
To index your existing content, you will need to run the following command:
python manage.py algolia_reindexMore details
