Docsearch doesn't work

[jcubic]

I've setup docSearch the same code works in DocSearch demo but fail in Docusaurus

Docusaurus

• https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-vefg3h?file=docusaurus.config.js

DocSearch basic example:

• https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/crazy-varahamihira-9d68rt?file=%2Fapp.js

I was reading different issues related to DocSearch and not of the things worked. I restarted the build multiple times, deleted the index, modified the config and nothing works.

EDIT: see Troubleshooting section added to our docs here:

Your index exists, but is not properly configured.

We are unable to query on these fields probably because they do not exist:

facetFilters: ["language:en",["docusaurus_tag:default","docusaurus_tag:docs-default-current"]]"}]}

If you disable contextual search (not recommended because it will disable that smart query), we can get results:

If you don't have these fields in your index, it is probably a configuration problem.

Verify your crawler config, and you might need to delete/recreate your index according to what other users reported, including the Algolia team (#9200 (comment))

If you have index problems, you should contact the Algolia DocSearch support directly on their Discord server, because it's not a Docusaurus issue.

Thanks, it seems to work, do you know how I should split single record into multiple record? Since it was indexed but doesn't work.

I used this based on Algolia documentation:

      recordExtractor: ({ url, $, helpers }) => {
        if (url.pathname.match(/\/reference/)) {
          const baseRecord = {
            url,
            title: $("head title").text().trim(),
          };
          const records = helpers.splitContentIntoRecords({
            baseRecord,
            $elements: $("main"),
            maxRecordBytes: 1000,
            textAttributeName: "text",
            orderingAttributeName: "part",
          });
          return records;
        }
        // ... defaults
      }

The rest is the default from DocSearch docs.

I can ask a different question, so it's easier to find.

I'm not particularly skilled into customizing the Algolia crawler. If you want to use a custom config please contact the Algolia team directly, I can't help on that.
