reactivesearch VS react-instantsearch

The SearchBox component is part of the ReactiveSearch UI kit: https://github.com/appbaseio/reactivesearch and works with Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Solr, and MongoDB Atlas Search as search engine backends. Support for OpenAI is coming soon - star or watch the repo to be in the loop for this one.

reactivesearch has the most stars from what I can find on GH. I've never used one either, maybe someone else will have a better suggestion.

This is a follow-along post (takes a couple of hours to build this end-to-end) showing how to build a consumer grade search UI using React and Elasticsearch. It makes use of the https://github.com/appbaseio/reactivesearch library (Apache 2.0 licensed) that's being used by over 1,000 projects for building their search UI.

It kinda depends what you have and what you want out of it, for https://demo.rapidez.io/women/tops-women we use Reactivesearch (Vue variant): https://opensource.appbase.io/reactivesearch/

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.

I am using one of the algolia code examples - https://github.com/algolia/react-instantsearch/blob/master/examples/media/URLSync.js

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.

If you want to play around with the various features provided by React InstantSearch you can read more on algolia's documentation. You can also use MeiliSearch's react demo for a more interactive example.
