Search Delight on Mobile with Algolia
summary
Shows how to add full text search to Firestore by exporting collections to Algolia via Firebase Cloud Functions and an HTTP trigger, requiring each record an objectID and deploying a simple import function that refreshes the Algolia index (reports "works 10/10"). Android side uses the Algolia SDK with MVVM, Jetpack paging (old paging lib), a Searcher/SearchBox and highlighted results, configurable tolerance for typos and page size 50, with live paged results and working swipe-to-refresh.
