Opencart Algolia Search

Opencart Algolia Search: This extension allows Algolia search services to be used by the store owner to improvise the search results for the online store. Whenever the customer enters any word to search for any product, the product name search is autocompleted.

It also automatically displays related objects from the search to the customer. By using the Algolia API keys, the admin needs to integrate the Algolia server with the website. The admin needs to sync all products to Algolia servers after connecting with the Algolia server.

• It autocompletes the search results and shows similar products to the entered word.
• The admin can sync all the products to the Algolia server to improvise search results.
• Can remove any product from the Algolia server by using the remove button.
