Integrating Appbrew with Algolia lets you power in-app product search with the same search engine running on your web storefront. You can:
- Serve fast, typo-tolerant product search inside your app
- Return relevant results as shoppers type
- Keep search behavior consistent between web and app
This means shoppers get the same fast search experience in the app that they'd get on your website, instead of a slower, more basic native search.
What You Need
- Login credentials for both your Appbrew and Algolia accounts
- An active Algolia account
How to Set Up the Integration
Contact your Appbrew representative to enable this integration for your app.

FAQs
Does Algolia power search on the web store, the app, or both?
Algolia powers in-app search — the same engine can also run your web search if you already use it there.
Is search fast on mobile?
Yes — results return as the shopper types.
Does this replace my existing Algolia setup on web?
No — this connects your existing Algolia configuration to your Appbrew app. Your web search setup is untouched.
