Summary

FanFootage.com is a platform where fans can upload and share videos from concerts and events, with high definition audio, allowing users to search for specific artists, bands, or upcoming events in their area. The company had previously struggled with building its own search functionality due to the complexity of the task, but after exploring various options, they chose Algolia as their solution. With Algolia, FanFootage was able to quickly configure and test the search feature, which has proven to be fast and flexible, allowing for instant results and spell checking. The platform is now used by over 250 artists in 20 countries, with a growing fanbase, and the company plans to roll out Algolia for mobile in the future.
