Here is one example:
First index is showing community-content, like we have now.
Second index is showing external page. For each new index other then discourse we could show a new grouping. Maybe we could insert a list, which indices we would like to show on frontend to not use all existing ones available within search-API.
Maybe it is possible to reach such a goal using multiple indices. Algolia themselves are also having such a search, even with a preview.
Algolia has a UI & UX Pattern for this using InstantSearch.js:
So the question is: What can we offer right now with plugin discourse-algolia?
- Is it right now only able to use the three discourse-indices?
- Would it be a new feature to use other indices?
- Or do we need to manipulate existing discourse-index “discourse-posts” so it will also show “foreign entries”?
