meilisearch-react VS react-instantsearch

The Medusa + MeiliSearch integration opens up a lot of capabilities for creating a rich UX for your storefront. The plugin indexes all your products and listens to any updates made on them, so you can then leverage any client-side SDKs developed by the MeiliSearch team to build cool search experiences for storefronts. For example, MeiliSearch exposes a React adapter that can be used with React InstantSearch (made by Algolia) which provides features such as highlighting, filtering, and pagination out of the box.

If you want to learn more about how you can customize the UI of the search bar and its options you can check out the documentation of React InstantSearch by Algolia.

Like the speed of our search, but want your own implementation? We got you covered! Internally, our widget uses our Instant Search Client to handle all the requests and functionality. With this client you can build your own solution or connect it to for example instantsearch.js or react-instantsearch-dom. With these packages, you can create your own UI that is connected to Afosto Instant Search. Take a look at the demo on our website, or use the CodePen below as an example.

Add a search bar so your coworkers can search for tips about a specific topic or tool. Algolia’s React InstantSearch library might be useful for this.
