## The bug
The live Algolia index was renamed to **`docs_composio`**, but every
default in the repo still pointed at the old
**`docs_composio_dev_62hi9pqz1l_pages`** in three places:
1. `.github/workflows/docs-search-sync.yml` — `ALGOLIA_INDEX_NAME`
fallback
2. `docs/lib/search-index.ts` — `ALGOLIA_DEFAULT_INDEX_NAME` (used by
the sync script)
3. `docs/components/custom-search-dialog.tsx` — client query fallback
(×2)
So unless the `ALGOLIA_INDEX_NAME` Actions variable happened to be set,
the **docs-search-sync** workflow rebuilt the dead old index on every
push to `next`, while the live site queried a different one. Net effect:
search index updates never showed up.
## The fix
Repoint the default to `docs_composio` in all three spots (+ README /
CLAUDE.md docs). The env overrides still take precedence, so nothing
breaks if a variable is set.
## Env to set (so it actually publishes & reads the right index)
The code now defaults to `docs_composio`, so the only things that
**must** be configured:
**GitHub Actions (repo → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions):**
- `ALGOLIA_ADMIN_API_KEY` *(secret, required)* — without it the workflow
skips the sync.
- `ALGOLIA_APP_ID` *(variable, optional)* — defaults to `62HI9PQZ1L`.
- `ALGOLIA_INDEX_NAME` *(variable, optional)* — now defaults to
`docs_composio`; set only to override.
**Vercel (Production env) — for the live search to query the same
index:**
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_ALGOLIA_SEARCH_API_KEY` *(required; without it the client
falls back to `/api/search`)*
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_ALGOLIA_APP_ID` = `62HI9PQZ1L` *(optional, defaulted)*
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_ALGOLIA_INDEX_NAME` = `docs_composio` *(optional now that
the default matches; set it to be explicit)*
> If `NEXT_PUBLIC_ALGOLIA_INDEX_NAME` was previously set to the old name
in Vercel, update or remove it — otherwise the client keeps reading the
old index regardless of this PR.
## Testing
- `bun run types:check` passes.
- `grep` confirms no remaining references to the old index name.

## Summary
- Re-apply the Algolia docs search migration after the previous PR was
merged and reverted.
- Keep the existing Fumadocs search UI while using Algolia API when
search keys are configured, with `/api/search` fallback for local
development and tests.
- Add a first-party Algolia index builder/sync script that creates
section-sized docs records from MDX/OpenAPI/toolkit/changelog content,
configures index relevance settings, and replaces index objects without
relying on Algolia Crawler.
- Add Algolia Insights view/click events and a terminal search relevance
test script.
- Clean search breadcrumbs so results show labels like `Toolkit` and
`Cookbook` instead of duplicated `toolkits > Gmail` formatting.
## Tests
- `cd docs && bun run types:check`
- `cd docs && bun run sync:search --dry-run`
- `cd docs && bunx eslint components/custom-search-dialog.tsx
lib/search-index.ts scripts/sync-algolia-search.ts
scripts/test-algolia-search.ts`
## Notes
- Live Algolia sync requires `ALGOLIA_ADMIN_API_KEY`.
- Live search relevance tests require `ALGOLIA_SEARCH_API_KEY` or
`NEXT_PUBLIC_ALGOLIA_SEARCH_API_KEY`.
## Summary
- Switch docs search dialog to Algolia when public Algolia env vars are
configured, with local `/api/search` fallback for development/tests
- Add a shared docs search index builder plus `bun run sync:search` to
publish records to Algolia
- Add a GitHub Actions workflow to dry-run and sync the Algolia index on
`next` docs changes when secrets are configured
- Document required Algolia env vars and sync command
## Tests
- `cd docs && bun run types:check`
- `cd docs && bun run sync:search --dry-run`
- `cd docs && bun test tests/static/`
- `cd docs && bunx eslint components/custom-search-dialog.tsx
lib/search-index.ts scripts/sync-algolia-search.ts`
- `cd docs && bun run build`
## Notes
- `bun run lint` still fails on existing unrelated repo-wide lint errors
in files outside this change (for example `app/global-error.tsx`,
`components/ask-ai-button.tsx`, `components/version-selector.tsx`). The
changed search files pass targeted ESLint.
- Production search requires `NEXT_PUBLIC_ALGOLIA_APP_ID`,
`NEXT_PUBLIC_ALGOLIA_SEARCH_API_KEY`, and optionally
`NEXT_PUBLIC_ALGOLIA_INDEX_NAME` (default `composio_docs`). Index
syncing requires `ALGOLIA_APP_ID`/`ALGOLIA_ADMIN_API_KEY` secrets.
