Intallation

1. Install Algolia on the Odoo Server

Before installing odoo_algolia_autocomplete, you need to install algoliasearch. Run the following command in your terminal:

pip install --upgrade 'algoliasearch>=2.0,<3.0'

2. Enter Algolia API Keys

Algolia is a Search-as-a-Service platform, and you need an account to use it.

1. Log in to algolia.com
2. Navigate to the API Keys section and copy the following informations:

• Application ID
• Search-Only API Key
• Admin API Key

3. In Odoo, go to Settings -> Algolia -> Server.
4. Click on the existing Algolia record and enter the copied keys in the appropriate fields. If no record exists, create a new one and name it algolia.

3. Setup Product Index

Once the API keys are entered:

1. Navigate to Settings -> Algolia -> Index.
2. Look for a record named Product Autocomplete. Click on the record and in the form view:

• Check if the appropriate Algolia server from the drop-down list is selected.
• To display product images in search results, enable Show Image.
• If you have multiple websites and some products are exclusive to a particular website, enable Exclusive Product; otherwise, all products will appear in the search results.

4. Upload to algolia.com

Once everything is set up, we need to upload product data to algola.com:

• while you are the Index form view, Save the configuration.
• Click the Update Index button. This will populate algolia.com with the latest product data.

If an error occurs, verify your API keys and check your internet connection.

Not that Any local product changes are automatically synchronized with Algolia and you don't need to upload on every change. But If needed, manually click Update Index anytime to populate all data to algolia.com.

Index Form View

Note that changing options in the Index Form View modifies the data structure and you have to Update Index.
