    Hi guys!

    Does anyone have documentation on how to connect CMS collections by means of a search engine thanks to the geographical location of each ?

    Say as API, when one allows the device to recognize where we are.

    Example: https://appwebel.com/ On the navbar, If you look at the navbar you have a search field. You touch and it allows you to search by location.

    Greetings!

    Ooo I see... I wonder if Algolia or something like that might help? They give you very fine controls over what search results are returned.

    The simple-now solution would be the Finsweet CMS filtering attributes. Then you could treat the location as a filter. https://finsweet.com/attributes/cms-filter

    Excellent! Unless something is broken I say stick with them. And then if you need something more advanced you can try Algolia. It's paid and complex, but very powerful.

    Algolia allows you to search in multiple languages. If your content is stored in different languages across separate collections, you’ll need to use multiple search indexes. However, if all your content is in the same language, you only need one index to manage your search data.

    https://www.algolia.com/doc/guides/managing-results/optimize-search-results/handling-natural-languages-nlp/how-to/multilingual-search/

    Algolia's geolocation feature is designed for addresses, so it won't automatically detect a user's country to show results in the right language. However, you can achieve this by setting the preferred language on the frontend and applying the correct filter when starting the search.
