## What it is
Searchkit is an open-source TypeScript library providing search UI components and a Node.js API layer for building search experiences on top of Elasticsearch and OpenSearch. It is compatible with Algolia's InstantSearch and Autocomplete components, supporting React, Vue, Angular, and plain JavaScript.

## Use cases
- build a search UI for Elasticsearch
- add faceted filtering and refinement to search results
- migrate from Algolia to Elasticsearch without rewriting UI components
- add autocomplete to an Elasticsearch-backed site
- proxy Elasticsearch requests from the browser through a Node API
- build a semantic search experience with Next.js
- create an e-commerce product search page

## When to choose
- you use Elasticsearch or OpenSearch and need a polished search frontend quickly
- you want to reuse Algolia InstantSearch components with your own search engine
- you need to keep Elasticsearch credentials off the browser via a proxy API
- you work across React, Vue, Angular, or vanilla JS

## When to avoid
- your backend is not Elasticsearch or OpenSearch
- you need a fully custom search UI with no component abstractions
- you want a hosted search SaaS rather than a self-managed library
