Autocomplete Form

Algolia Search

The autocomplete feature provides instant search results as visitors type in the navigation search form.

#How It Works

When search is enabled in the navigation (nav-search setting), clicking the search icon opens a search drawer. As you type, Algolia returns matching results instantly - typically in under 50 milliseconds.

#Features

  • Instant results - matches appear after the first few characters
  • Typo tolerance - finds results even with spelling mistakes
  • Multi-index search - searches across portfolio items, blog posts, and pages simultaneously
  • Highlighted matches - search terms are highlighted in results

#Configuration

Autocomplete is configured through the WP Search with Algolia plugin settings. The theme automatically integrates with the plugin search form.

Make sure your Algolia credentials are set in both:

  • Settings > Algolia Search (plugin settings)
  • Appearance > Customize > API Keys (theme settings)

Index your content after major content updates. Go to Algolia Search settings and re-index to ensure new portfolio items and posts appear in search results.
