N2N.org: Custom Algolia Search Integration

Built a custom Craft CMS Algolia plugin and extended InstantSearch to enable location-based housing resource discovery

At a Glance

  • Custom Algolia plugin - built an indexing solution that did not exist for Craft at the time
  • Instant results - housing resources found in milliseconds instead of slow page loads
  • ZIP-code search - location-based discovery for housing resources

Neighbor to Neighbor’s Craft CMS site had slow queries and no way to find housing assistance by location. We built a custom Algolia indexing plugin (none existed for Craft at the time) and extended InstantSearch with ZIP-code pre-filtering, so people land on housing resources near them in milliseconds.
