Index (Algolia)

Optimized data structure used by Algolia to store, organize and rapidly search for information. Each index groups together a set of documents (or objects) containing attributes that the search engine can explore, filter and classify in real time. Thanks to this architecture, Algolia offers ultra-fast search performance, even on large volumes of data, while enabling fine-tuned personalization of results via ranking, faceting and relevance rules.

Algolia also enables A/B tests to be carried out between several indexes, in order to compare different search configurations (weight of attributes, sorting rules, faceting strategy, etc.). This feature helps identify the best-performing index in terms of engagement, conversions or speed, and thus continually optimize the user search experience.
