Monogram integrates with Algolia for lightning-fast, typo-tolerant search across your portfolio and blog content.

## Requirements

- **WP Search with Algolia** plugin (recommended during theme installation)
- An Algolia account (free tier available at algolia.com)
- Algolia Application ID and Search API Key

## Configuration

1. Create an Algolia account and note your **Application ID** and **Search-Only API Key**
2. Install and activate the **WP Search with Algolia** plugin
3. Configure the plugin under **Settings > Algolia Search**
4. Navigate to **Algolia Search > Settings** and enter your Algolia Application ID and Search-Only API Key

<div data-callout="warning">

Use your Search-Only API Key, not the Admin API Key. The search key is safe for frontend use.

</div>

## How It Works

Once configured, Algolia powers two search experiences: autocomplete (instant results as you type) and instantsearch (full results page with filters).
