Please note that this Support article contains frontend customizations via modifying the legacy Algolia template files, which are deprecated and unsupported by the Algolia Support Team.
For more information, please review this Support article - "Why is modifying Algolia template files for customizations not supported?"
When using a versioned theme or a toolkit like Slate, the algolia_config.js file might get accidentally overwritten.
To prevent this from happening, please ignore assets/algolia_config.js.liquid in your version control system. For example, when using Git, you can add it to your .gitignore file.
