Not sure if there is anything else out there that is ‘better’ but a quick google suggested this, https://github.com/sanity-io/sanity-algolia

I did this

Algolia crawls the site, and then the config is in Sanity
Sep 15, 2022, 4:17 PM
I really did not like using the Algolia React components.
Sep 15, 2022, 4:18 PM
I ended up coding it myself, used
react-fast-compare
,
swr
, and wrote an api to ping sanity and algolia.

It was a fun project, but it took a bit

That works great Jon...lightning fast search results

Yeah I was pleased with the final result. Algolia had theirs setup to do a search per key stroke, and that seemed like overkill to me. So I X’ed that.

Thanks,
user J
and
user M
for the correct suggestions. I follow the ins and it's working fine. On the other hand, I'm getting one error could you please help me solve this. The webhook is not working correctly. the code is shown below. The wehook showing
*This Serverless Function* has timed out.
How is fix this issue?
import indexer from 'sanity-algolia';

import { algoliaInstance } from '../../graphql/utils/algolia';
import sanityServerClient, { algoliaSanityQuery } from '../../utils/sanity';

const handler = async (req) => {
  const passphrase = 'ALGOLIA_SECRET';
  if (passphrase !== process.env.ALGOLIA_SECRET) {
    return {
      status: 401,
    };
  }
  const index = algoliaInstance.initIndex(process.env.ALGOLIA_INDEX);
  const sanityAlgolia = indexer(
    {
      product: {
        index,
        // The projection is the piece of the GROQ query
        // where we determine what data to fetch
        projection: algoliaSanityQuery,
      },
      // 💡 Could have many other document types here!
    },

    // Serializer function for manipulating documents with Javascript
    // I'm not using it as GROQ is doing all the work
    (document) => document,
    // (document) => console.log(document, 'document'),
    // Visibility function to determine which document should be included
    (document) => !['unapproved'].includes(document.status),
  );
  // console.log('sanityAlgolia', sanityAlgolia);
  return sanityAlgolia
    .webhookSync(sanityServerClient, req.body)
    .then(() => ({
      status: 200,
      body: 'Success!',
    }))
    .catch(() => ({
      status: 500,
      body: 'Something went wrong',
    }));
};

export default handler;
