About this widget

<Index> is the provider component for an Algolia index. It’s useful when building interfaces that target multiple indices such as federated searches. The position of <Index> in the widget tree affects which search parameters apply. Widgets that create search parameters forward them to their children <Index> widgets.

Examples

JavaScript

Props

string
The main index to search into. This prop is required unless isolated is true.
JavaScript
string
An identifier for the <Index> widget.Providing an indexId lets different <Index widgets target the same Algolia index. It’s helpful for routing. It lets you find the refinements that match an <Index> widget.
JavaScript
boolean
default:false
By default, an <Index> component is included in the main InstantSearch request. When isolated is true, the component performs its own search requests instead.When isolated is true, the index:
  • Searches separately instead of being included in the main search request.
  • Isn’t included in the URL or UI state.
  • Isn’t included in server-side rendering.
You can omit indexName when isolated is true. EXPERIMENTAL_isolated is a deprecated alias. Use isolated instead.
