InstantSearch.js with Q is an additionaly JavaScirpt library for the smartest routing URL, based on InstantSearch.js v4, a vanilla JavaScript library that lets you create an instant-search result experience using Algolia’s search API. It is part of the InstantSearch family:

InstantSearch.js Q

Why

You should be using InstantSearch with Q only if you want to:

Use InstantSearch.js with the smartest and the shortest routing URL without any repeated coding

otherwise use Algolia's InstantSearch.js instead.

Getting started

Using InstantSearch.js is as simple as adding this JavaScript code to your page:

// 1. Instantiate the search
const search = instantsearch({
  indexName: 'instant_search',
  searchClient: algoliasearch('latency', '6be0576ff61c053d5f9a3225e2a90f76'),
  routing: { stateMapping: instantsearch.stateMappings.singleIndexQ('instant_search') },
});

search.addWidgets([
  // 2. Create an interactive search box
  instantsearch.widgets.searchBox({
    container: '#searchbox',
    placeholder: 'Search for products',
  }),

  // 3. Plug the search results into the product container
  instantsearch.widgets.hits({
    container: '#products',
    templates: {
      item: '{{#helpers.highlight}}{ "attribute": "name" }{{/helpers.highlight}}',
    },
  }),

  // 4. Make the brands refinable
  instantsearch.widgets.refinementList({
    container: '#brand',
    attribute: 'brand',
  }),
]);

// 5. Start the search!
search.start();
