I have several projects that rely on the Kirby 2 Algolia plugin. My understanding is that there’s no Kirby 3-compatible plugin for Algolia. Does anyone know if an updated plugin is in the works, or a recommendation for an alternative way to accomplish integration?

There’s not standalone plugin, but you can basically use the files used on the [getirby.com](http://getirby.com) website.

Repo: [https://github.com/getkirby/getkirby.com](https://github.com/getkirby/getkirby.com)

FYI

The search on/in [getkirby.com](http://getkirby.com) site is based on Awesomplete and vanilla search.

The plugin in the Git-Repo for Algola does not update content like it should.

Is there a solid Algolia solution in the pipes for Kirby?

Yes, the Algolia plugin in the [getkirby.com](http://getkirby.com) GitHub repo is very rudimentary. I adapted it and made it more closely mirror the Kirby 2 Algolia plugin by adding a route (for manual reindexing) and hooks to automatically update the index when content changes. It’s been a while since I set up the plugin but I’ve used it on multiple Kirby 3 sites since without issue. Essentially, this is what I added to `index.php` in the plugin.

```
Kirby::plugin('kirby/algolia', [
  'routes' => [
    [
        'pattern' => 'algolia/index',
        'action' => function () {
          algolia()->index();
          echo 'Index updated';
        }
    ],
  ],
  'hooks' => [
    'page.create:after' => function ($page) {
      return algolia()->insertPage($page);
    },
    'page.update:after' => function ($newPage) {
      return algolia()->updatePage($newPage);
    },
    'page.delete:before' => function ($page) {
      return algolia()->deletePageRecursive($page);
    },
    'page.changeNum' => function ($page) {
      return algolia()->updatePage($page);
    },
    'page.changeStatus:before' => function ($page) {
      return algolia()->updatePage($page);
    },
    'page.changeSlug:after' => function ($newPage, $oldPage) {
       return algolia()->movePage($oldPage, $newPage);
    }
  ],
]);
```

Thank you for sharing @nigel. I appreciate it.

Was looking at the v2 plugin myself. Looking forward to try this out.

Added: Works like a charm.

Has anyone done further work on Algolia search with Kirby 3? The code @nigel posted above is not working for me. It looks like recent changes to the Search plugin on [getkirby.com](http://getkirby.com) are incompatible with this code. Just wondering if anyone else has made the updates before I go digging through the plugin to fix it.
