I am not a developer and I do not know how to set up Algolia search for my website. My website is https://androidwedakarayo.com and I am using @GodoFredoNinja Simply master in my website. There is a search option. But I need to integrate Algolia into it. Please help me, I do not have such developing knowledge. I checked algolia/packages/algolia at main · TryGhost/algolia (github.com) but I cannot understand how to do it.
@truekasun helped me to integrate Algolia.
Thank you @truekasun and appreciate it. If you would like to have Algolia search on your blog, please contact him.

Can you share the simple guidelines?
The directions here are pretty good. Did you try them? Where are you stuck?
(The Netlify one-click is amazeballs if you need exactly what it does.)
I’ve done two Algolia/Netlify deploys recently, so if you’re stuck, please post and I’ll try to help!

Oh, thanks! I read your post after send my message (!) but I stil wonder if we can use Algolia without adding third party service.
Of course I will look into Netlify but we chose to host instead to use in cloud by philosophy, so I will appreciate if you can share some links or directions to follow up that way 
You’re saying you want to host your own instead of run on Netlify? No reason you couldn’t do that, although I wouldn’t. [You probably fit in the free Netlify tier, and one click deploy is going to save you a LOT of time.] But if I wanted to host my own, I’d start from the @tryghost/algolia-netlify package - you’d need to stand up a Node server that’d listen to webhooks from Ghost and then push that new content over to Algolia.

Thanks, I’m doing that way.
How can I use the Algolia console? Can I just connect to the API from bash? I’m searching but I will appreciate your suggestions for beginners.
Yep, it’s my first time connecting with API :)

Yes, I’ve installed the CLI into the ghost folder but I want to include on search paywalled content like you shared on your blogpost (thanks for that!).
And I didn’t found the Algolia console before starting the first batch process. Is that OK?
I’m not sure what you mean by “found the Algolia console” ?
Do you want to push your previous posts to algolia?
Sorry I get confused over same topic threads:
I will continue there, please split and move if moderation needs.
Hi i am using the Taste theme and attempting to implement Algolia search and have the indexing done, but having trouble binding the text input field to the instantsearch from algolia, i need to add an id to the class for my search.js to function (per chatgpt). I am trying to leverage the existing search field, but the html is nowhere in the theme or navbar.hbs file. is there an easier way, I do not think there is any documentation how this is done anywhere. please correct me if i am wrong. newbie here. and any help appreciated. @truekasun @satonotdead
