Hi I was wondering how to implement Algolia search into SQLPage.

This code below provides a basic implementation of Algolia search in an HTML file. Here's a breakdown of what you need to do:

Replace 'YOUR_APP_ID' and 'YOUR_SEARCH_API_KEY' with your actual Algolia App ID and Search API Key.
Modify the 'YourIndexName' in the instantsearch configuration.

The search results will display the post title and excerpt.
This implementation uses Algolia's InstantSearch.js library, which provides a quick way to add search functionality to your web app.

To integrate this into your existing app:

Include the necessary Algolia scripts and CSS in your HTML file's section. (This we can do via the shell component)
Add the HTML elements (#searchbox and #hits) where you want the search interface to appear in your app.
Include the JavaScript code in a <script> tag at the end of your or in a separate JS file.

        const searchClient = algoliasearch('YOUR_APP_ID', 'YOUR_SEARCH_API_KEY');

        const search = instantsearch({
            indexName: 'YourIndexName',
            searchClient,
        });

        search.addWidgets([
            instantsearch.widgets.searchBox({
                container: '#searchbox',
            }),

            instantsearch.widgets.hits({
                container: '#hits',
                templates: {
                    item: (hit) => `
                        <div>
                            <h2>${instantsearch.highlight({ attribute: 'post_title', hit })}</h2>
                            <p>${instantsearch.highlight({ attribute: 'post_excerpt', hit })}</p>
                        </div>
                    `,
                },
            })
        ]);

        search.start();
    </script>
</body>
</html>
