# Algolia DocSearch (https://devrel.directory/directory/algolia-docsearch)

Free hosted search for open-source docs sites; the default search layer on thousands of developer docs.

Crawls your documentation on a schedule and serves a hosted Algolia index through a drop-in search UI with typo tolerance and keyboard navigation. Free for public developer documentation and technical blogs, commercial or open source; search beyond docs goes through the paid Algolia plans. For a docs maintainer it removes the search-infrastructure job entirely: no index to host, no crawler to write.
