| Huge release! We’ve redesigned our docs and rewrote much of the content. Our docs are now centered on use cases, and so should be more directly relevant to what you want to do with Algolia. You should find overviews with more examples, and lots more How-To pages and In-Depth coverage. Additionally, we’ve integrated InstantSearch into our main docs, making our UI framework central to the Algolia experience.
