Add instant search to blog or docs w/ Jekyll plugin | Algolia
Algolia, a company focused on providing fast and relevant search experiences worldwide, has introduced a new Jekyll plugin. Jekyll is a static website generator that allows users to write content in markdown files and create layout templates for generating HTML websites. However, these websites lack search capabilities due to their static nature. Algolia's plugin now enables Jekyll users to access the "jekyll algolia push" command, which scans their websites and pushes every paragraph of text as a new record to an Algolia index for searching purposes. The plugin is fully tested and available from rubygems, with installation instructions provided in the readme file. It extracts HTML files generated by Jekyll's build command and adds metadata context to each paragraph before pushing them to the index. Users can customize the plugin settings to fit their specific content needs.
