Algolia Connector

GAApp ConnectorsReleased May 2026All plansSource: docs.lovable.dev

Algolia Connector is Lovable's App Connectors feature: Fast, typo-tolerant search with faceting, ranking, and analytics.

Algolia adds search-as-you-type, faceted filtering, indexing, ranking rules, recommendations, and search analytics to any app. Apps read and write indices directly through the connector.

Example workflows

Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.

  1. Stand it up from scratch

    You have read the record and want Algolia Connector working in a real project rather than a sandbox.

    Set up Algolia Connector in this project — fast, typo-tolerant search with faceting, ranking, and analytics. Walk it end to end, tell me exactly what you changed, and flag anything I have to switch on myself before it works.

    Expected outcome

    A working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.

  2. Product and marketplace search

    The record lists this as one of the jobs Algolia Connector is meant for, so it is a fair first test of whether it fits your app.

    In this project, use Algolia Connector for product and marketplace search. Build the smallest version that a real user could complete end to end, keep the change scoped to that path, and tell me how to test it myself.

    Expected outcome

    One complete path a user can walk, the files and settings that changed, and the steps to test it. Walk it yourself before you ship it.

  3. Review it before you publish

    Algolia Connector is wired in and you are about to put it in front of people. This is the pass that catches the half-configured version.

    Review how this project uses Algolia Connector before I publish. Check index and update records and run search queries, list anything that is missing, misconfigured, or only half wired, fix what is safe to fix, and tell me what you left alone and why.

    Expected outcome

    A findings list split into what was fixed and what was left, with a reason for each. Anything left alone is yours to decide on.

  4. Documentation search

    A second job the record lists for Algolia Connector, useful once the first path works.

    Extend this project so Algolia Connector also covers documentation search. Reuse what is already wired rather than adding a parallel setup, and tell me what you reused and what is new.

    Expected outcome

    A second path built on the same setup, plus a note on what was shared and what was added.
