**Status:** 🟢 **Decided**
|
|
**Decision Owner:** Amadou
|
|
**People Involved:** Amadou, Mohammed B
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
New policy is forcing us to look at Canadian alternatives first. They needed to justify if they were American or not. If American and no employees in Canada, then I must submit an exception for this.
|
|
|
|
## Problem
|
|
|
|
Determine whether the procurement requirements and ongoing cost of Algolia justify replacing it with an alternative search platform.
|
|
|
|
Replacing Algolia would affect multiple websites and require significant integration work, including a review and reimplementation of the synchronization between Directus and Algolia.
|
|
|
|
## Options Considered

|

### Option 1
|

**Description:** Leaving them

**Pros:** Could probably be cheaper using services like mielesearch or typesense
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
**Cons:** Very expensive on integration of all websites and full review of the sync code between Directus and Algolia

### Option 2
|
|
|
|
**Description:** Stay with them
|
|
|
|
**Pros:** Nothing changes
|
|
-
|

|
**Cons:** Still expensive.
