Algolia DocSearch + Astro Starlight Part 2

In this update, the author discusses how to use Algolia's DocSearch with Astro Starlight and other documentation frameworks. They explain that DocSearch is now available for all technical documentation and blogs, not just OSS projects. The process involves filling out an application form and receiving approval from Algolia. Once approved, users receive necessary information to deploy a DocSearch Autocomplete UI in seconds. The author also introduces crawler templates, which are pre-configured configurations for popular documentation frameworks like Astro Starlight, Docusaurus, and Vite. These templates reduce the time-to-first-search-result by automatically optimizing records in the index for specific documentation frameworks. Users can suggest changes or submit their own crawler templates via GitHub PRs. Finally, the author highlights that using a documentation framework with a native plugin and customized crawler template makes getting started with DocSearch even easier. They encourage users to reach out on Discord if they encounter any issues during the process.
