title: Migrating from v3 to v4
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
This guide provides detailed information on migrating from [DocSearch v3](/docs/v3/docsearch) to [DocSearch v4](/docs/docsearch), highlighting key differences and new configuration options. For a comprehensive overview, refer to the [API reference](/docs/api) and [Getting Started Guide](/docs/docsearch).
|
|
|
|
## If You're Using Algolia Keyword Search Only
|
|
|
|
If your application utilizes only the Algolia keyword search functionality, **no migration steps are necessary**. DocSearch v4 maintains full backward compatibility for keyword search operations.
|
|
|
|
### Translations
|
|
|
|
We refreshed a few translations keys to make their purpose much clearer:
|
|
|
|
| Interface | Old key | New key |
|
|
|-----------|---------|---------|
|
|
| SearchBoxTranslations | `resetButtonTitle` | `clearButtonTitle` |
|
|
| SearchBoxTranslations | `resetButtonAriaLabel` | `clearButtonAriaLabel` |
|
|
| SearchBoxTranslations | `cancelButtonText` | `closeButtonText` |
|
|
| SearchBoxTranslations | `cancelButtonAriaLabel` | `closeButtonAriaLabel` |
|
|
| FooterTranslations | `searchByText` | `poweredByText` |
|
|
|
|
Find the full list of translations in the [API documentation](/docs/api#translations)
|
|
|
|
## Integrating Ask AI with DocSearch v4
|
|
|
|
### Basic Integration
|
|
|
|
DocSearch v4 introduces seamless support for Algolia's Ask AI feature. To enable AI-powered search, add the `askAi` parameter with your Algolia Assistant ID to your existing DocSearch configuration:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
docsearch({
|
|
indexName: 'YOUR_INDEX_NAME',
|
|
apiKey: 'YOUR_SEARCH_API_KEY',
|
|
appId: 'YOUR_APP_ID',
|
|
askAi: 'YOUR_ALGOLIA_ASSISTANT_ID',
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `YOUR_ALGOLIA_ASSISTANT_ID` with the ID provided from your Algolia Dashboard under the Ask AI section.
|
|
|
|
### Advanced Integration (Using a Separate Index)
|
|
|
|
If you prefer to utilize Ask AI with a separate configuration from your main DocSearch setup (for instance, using different API credentials or index), you can do so by providing an object to the `askAi` parameter:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
docsearch({
|
|
indexName: 'YOUR_INDEX_NAME',
|
|
apiKey: 'YOUR_SEARCH_API_KEY',
|
|
appId: 'YOUR_APP_ID',
|
|
askAi: {
|
|
indexName: 'ANOTHER_INDEX_NAME',
|
|
apiKey: 'ANOTHER_SEARCH_API_KEY',
|
|
appId: 'ANOTHER_APP_ID',
|
|
assistantId: 'YOUR_ALGOLIA_ASSISTANT_ID',
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ensure each field (`indexName`, `apiKey`, `appId`, and `assistantId`) within the `askAi` object is correctly configured for the Algolia index and assistant you wish to use.
|
|
|
|
## Features in v4 with Ask AI
|
|
|
|
* **BYO-LLM (Bring Your Own LLM) Support**: You can integrate custom AI models by providing your own LLM keys and configurations.
|
|
* **Improved Security**: Short-lived tokens and domain verification enhance security, reducing unauthorized access.
|
|
* **Enhanced Analytics and Feedback Processing**: Robust analytics to monitor usage and performance of your assistants.
|
|
|
|
## Styling
|
|
|
|
We refreshed most of the CSS classes. The new version shouldn't break your existing styling, but more styles & classes were introduced in this version so you'd probably have to customize them again.
|
|
|
|
## Migration Path and Compatibility
|
|
|
|
DocSearch v4 provides a clear migration path:
|
|
|
|
* Update your DocSearch configuration with the new `askAi` settings as required.
|
|
* Ensure domain whitelist and assistant settings are properly configured via your Algolia Dashboard.
|
|
* Review your indexed content and analytics periodically to optimize Ask AI responses and performance.
|
|
|
|
