The power of Algolia, the flexibility of CSS

It even works offline!

Offline mode

Imagine an API Client that doesn't need to make API calls. As long as you've downloaded the initial CSS file, you can search even without an internet connection. That's what we call Offline Search!

Get rid of JavaScript altogether

No JavaScript needed

Stop wasting time wondering if you should put your CSS inside your JS or in a separate file. CSS is so powerful that you won't be needing JavaScript anymore. That's right, we decided to get rid of JavaScript altogether.

Look ma! I have flexbox!

Flexbox

What would CSS be without flexbox? Flexbox is the best thing that happened to the web since the blink tag. With it you can solve one of the most complex tech challenges: vertically centering any element! With such power, building a search engine was a breeze.
