About

Algolia Document indexer application implements a document indexer & search application that can be used to search in project documentation, essentially finding projects that were done in a specific technology, topic or contains specific domain knowledge that we might be looking for. This demo implementation scrapes the top GitHub repositories, stores their README.md in Algolia and makes them searchable.

This application lets you search for attributes existing within the internal documentation markdown files:

  1. Technologies used (coding languages, databases, etc)
  2. Project keywords (tags)
  3. Project documentation itself such as install instructions, technical documentation, etc.
  4. Timeframe of when the project occurred
