For anyone thinking about implementing full text search with Algolia, here’s what I didn’t know this morning that would have saved me time if I had. I’m following the Ghost-provided directions here [algolia/packages/algolia at main · TryGhost/algolia · GitHub](https://github.com/TryGhost/algolia/tree/main/packages/algolia) , but they result in newly-written full text being exposed to searchers, and older paywalled full text not getting searched. Here’s how I fixed it! > **[Full text search with Algolia for a Ghost membership site](https://cathy.sarisky.link/full-text-search-with-algolia/)** > > My client wanted full text search, but many of her posts were for paid subscribers and/or free members only.  We wanted the text searchable, but not to have it be freely available. > > This is not a full tutorial.  The link below has... ---

Hi, thanks for sharing! I have the Netlify app working and CLI installed (plus the webhooks enabled) but I don’t know where to use Algolia console to edit the search behavior. That’s supposed to be managed within API calls? ---

You’re talking about this part? (direct link to section) [Full text search with Algolia for a Ghost membership site](https://cathy.sarisky.link/full-text-search-with-algolia/#protecting-full-text-content-thats-paywalled) If so, you set up what the search returns on Algolia’s website. ---

It’s done, thanks again! My problem was a broken installation of the CLI, so I was not be able to found the Algolia dashboard 🥲
