Summary

Alejo Arias posed a problem in the Algolia forum about building an application to help consumers find agencies providing specific services. The challenge was to combine results from geographic searches for brick-and-mortar stores and boolean or text-based queries, while also displaying them in a unified way. The solution involved using Algolia's client libraries to query against geocoded records, building a multi-index solution with one index for the storefronts and another for state and national providers, and creating an address autocomplete form in React. This approach allowed for combining results from both geographic and non-geographic queries while maintaining a unified display interface.
