Working with Algolia’s Crawler

This content originally appeared on Raymond Camden and was authored by Raymond Camden

I've been using Algolia on my blog for a while now. It's an excellent search solution for the Jamstack and I absolutely recommend it, especially for sites where the size means Lunr may not be appropriate. While I like Algolia a lot, I haven't really dug terribly deep into it. I went through multiple iterations of my implementation here to help deal with the size of my content and so forth, but outside of that, I kept the actual search experience nice and simple. This week, I gave a talk at the Jamstack_Berlin user group on search options for the Jamstack and that's got me thinking more about both Lunr and Algolia. One of the things I've wanted to play with for quite some time is their Crawler product. While I didn't have time to research it before the presentation, I've had time to check it out and I thought I'd share my findings.
