You can set up an Algolia Search Backend Query to automatically trigger a search as soon as the user navigates to the page. This allows users to find documents within a Firestore Collection by simply providing a search term.

This approach is particularly useful for enhancing the user experience, such as dynamically refreshing search results in a ListView as the user types in a TextField, like real-time updates.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure that you have completed the Algolia integration in FlutterFlow Studio.

To add an Algolia Search Query, begin by selecting the scrollable widget that will fetch the results, such as a ListView. In the Properties Panel, navigate to the Backend Query tab, click on Add Query, and set the Query Type to Algolia Search.

Next, configure the search parameters: for Firebase Collection, select the Firestore collection you intend to search; for Search Term, choose From Variable and select the TextField’s value (e.g., Widget State > [Your TextField]); and specify the optional Max Results to determine the number of search results.
