This article covers search plugin configurations supported by Icarus 5.

Algolia

1. Install the hexo-algolia plugin under the root directory of your Hexo site.

2. Register and log into Algolia. Click the “Create Index” button on the dashboard when you log in for the first time. Then, enter the name of the index and click the “Create” button to complete index creation.

   
   

3. Next, click “API Keys” on the left navigation bar, copy “Application ID” and “Search-Only API Key” on the page. Open site configuration file _config.yml under the root directory of your Hexo site and fill in the above information to the hexo-algolia plugin configurations.

   

   For example, the following Aloglia index information:

   1 2 3

   Algolia Index Name: My-Hexo-Site Application ID: ABCDEFGHIJKL Search-Only API Key: 7b08fca7d42412cee901a25643124221

   maps to the following plugin configuration:

   1 2 3 4

   algolia: applicationID: My-Hexo-Site indexName: ABCDEFGHIJKL apiKey: 7b08fca7d42412cee901a25643124221

4. Go back to the “API Keys” page from the Algolia dashboard and switch to the “All API Keys” tab. Click the “New API Key” button. On the popup “Create API Key” dialog, select the index you created in the last step in “Indices” select box. Then, add addObject, deleteObject, listIndexes, deleteIndex to the “ACL” field. Click the “Create” button to finish key creation. Copy the API key you just created, e.g., 727fbd8c998fe419318fa350db6793ca.

   
   

5. Open a Windows Command Prompt (CMD) or Linux/macOS terminal and change the working directory to the root directory of your Hexo site. Set the HEXO_ALGOLIA_INDEXING_KEY environment variable to the API key you created in the last step. This variable is used by hexo-algolia when uploading indices to Algolia.

   On Windows:

   1 2	C:\Users\you> cd path/to/your/hexo/site C:\Users\you> set HEXO_ALGOLIA_INDEXING_KEY=727fbd8c998fe419318fa350db6793ca

   On Linux/macOS:

   1 2	$ cd path/to/your/hexo/site $ export HEXO_ALGOLIA_INDEXING_KEY="727fbd8c998fe419318fa350db6793ca"

   Then, run the following commands to clean up your site and upload indices to Algolia:

   1 2	$ hexo clean $ hexo algolia

6. Finally, set the search engine to Algolia in your theme configurations:

   1 2	search: type: algolia
