 Algolia DocSearch works by crawling the content of your website every 24 hours and putting all the content in an Algolia index. This content is then queried directly from your front-end using the Algolia API. Note that your website needs to be publicly available for this to work (i.e., not behind a firewall). The service is free.

For best results, you may want to use a config file based on the [Docusaurus 2 config](https://github.com/algolia/docsearch-configs/blob/master/configs/docusaurus-2.json).
