# Algolia Integration (Deprecated)

> Full-text search index of your Ghost posts, powered by Algolia. This integration is deprecated — new publications should use Typesense.

<Warning>
  The Algolia integration is no longer available for new publications. Existing Algolia users can continue using it, but new publications should use [Typesense](/integrations/typesense) instead, which is hosted and managed by Outpost.
</Warning>

Outpost's Algolia integration automatically indexes your Ghost posts in [Algolia](https://algolia.com), enabling fast, typo-tolerant full-text search for your publication.

## What gets indexed

When a Ghost post is published or updated, Outpost adds it to your Algolia search index. Each entry includes:

* Post title
* Post excerpt
* Post slug and URL
* Tags
* Author
* Publication date
* Tier access level (free vs. paid)

## Setup

1. In Algolia, create an application and note your **Application ID**
2. In the Algolia dashboard, create a search index (e.g., `ghost_posts`)
3. Create an API key with read and write permissions for your index
4. In Outpost, go to **Settings → Integrations → Algolia** and enter:
   * Application ID
   * API key
   * Index name

## When indexing happens

Outpost automatically updates your Algolia index when:

* A post is published — adds it to the index
* A post is updated — updates the existing entry
* A post is unpublished or deleted — removes it from the index

## Search on your Ghost site

To add search to your Ghost theme, use Algolia's InstantSearch.js library with your Application ID and a separate search-only API key (different from the write key you gave Outpost).

Outpost does not modify your Ghost theme — you add the search UI to your theme independently.

## Searchable attributes

Configure which fields Algolia ranks by going to **Algolia Dashboard → \[Index] → Configuration → Searchable Attributes**. Recommended order:

1. Title
2. Tags
3. Excerpt
4. Content (if you index full content)
