August 22, 2016 – San Francisco, CA – Algolia, the hosted search provider, today released Algolia For Magento 2.0, helping ecommerce companies improve the search engine experience for their customers. Algolia replaces Magento’s default search engine, which uses simple SQL queries, but does not handle features like autocomplete, fuzzy search or partial matches. Delivering “Search-as-a-Service,” Algolia lets Magento developers easily incorporate a great search experience, and helps ecommerce customers quickly find what they are looking for.

Expanding upon Algolia For Magento 1.0, the update features improved synchronization with Algolia in real time, and adds the most commonly-used Algolia features directly onto the Magento dashboard – making life easier for developers and online shoppers.
