Required ACL: search Use cases include:
  • Searching different indices, such as products and marketing content.
  • Run multiple queries on the same index with different parameters or filters.
If you know the expected result type, use the searchForHits or searchForFacets helper to simplify the response format.

​
Usage

// Initialize the client
var client = new SearchClient(new SearchConfig("ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_ID", "ALGOLIA_API_KEY"));

// Call the API
var response = await client.SearchAsync<Hit>(
  new SearchMethodParams
  {
    Requests = new List<SearchQuery>
    {
      new SearchQuery(new SearchForHits { IndexName = "<YOUR_INDEX_NAME>" }),
      new SearchQuery(
        new SearchForFacets
        {
          IndexName = "<YOUR_INDEX_NAME>",
          Type = Enum.Parse<SearchTypeFacet>("Facet"),
          Facet = "theFacet",
        }
      ),
      new SearchQuery(
        new SearchForHits
        {
          IndexName = "<YOUR_INDEX_NAME>",
          Type = Enum.Parse<SearchTypeDefault>("Default"),
        }
      ),
    },
    Strategy = Enum.Parse<SearchStrategy>("StopIfEnoughMatches"),
  }
);

// print the response
Console.WriteLine(response);
