Summary
In this tutorial, we learn how to enhance an e-commerce platform by adding advanced search capabilities using Strapi, Next.Js, and Algolia Search. We begin by setting up a new Strapi application and creating a Product collection with fields such as name, image, price, and description. Then, we integrate Algolia with our Strapi backend to enable the search functionality. After that, we set up the frontend using Next.Js and install the necessary packages for Algolia integration. Finally, we build the Search interface in our Next.Js frontend to show the products and perform search operations. We also extend the search features by adding facets, filtering, and sorting capabilities.
