DocSearch with multiple Indices?

Open Q&A
1

Hello,

we have one Application but two separate Indices.

We’ve splitted the Crawler into two actions / indices:

  • one for the old blogposts (2005-2020), that shouldn’t be re-crawled.
  • another one for the 2020-2023 blogposts.

Could we search both indices from the same DocSearch dialog?

The DocSearch UX is designed to search a single index. However, it is built on top Algolia Autocomplete, which absolutely supports multi-index search. You could fork the Docsearch repo and extend it to support a second index, or you could build your own UX using Autocomplete-js.
