Usage

The query parameter represents the query string Algolia matches against your index. For an overview of how Algolia interprets and ranks queries, see Relevance overview.

Formatting rules

  • An empty string ("") returns all records, sorted by customRanking.
  • Query strings can be up to 512 bytes long.
  • Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) aren’t supported in the query string.
  • Multi-word queries require all words to match. For example, hot dog only returns records containing both hot and dog.
