Airbnb Geo Search

This is a demo that showcases Typesense's Geo Search features using a snapshot of Airbnb listings from insideairbnb.

View it live here: https://airbnb-geosearch.typesense.org/

Tech Stack

This search experience is powered by Typesense which is a fast, open source typo-tolerant search-engine. It is an open source alternative to Algolia and an easier-to-use alternative to ElasticSearch.

The app was built using the Typesense Adapter for InstantSearch.js and is hosted on Cloudflare Pages.

The search/browsing backend is powered by a geo-distributed 3-node Typesense cluster running on Typesense Cloud, with nodes in Oregon, Frankfurt and Mumbai.

Repo structure

  • src/ and index.html - contain the frontend UI components, built with Typesense Adapter for InstantSearch.js
  • scripts/ - contains the scripts to extract, transform and index the data into Typesense.

Development

  1. Create a .env file using .env.example as reference.

  2. Transform and index the data

yarn transformData
yarn indexData
  1. Install dependencies and run the local server:

Open http://localhost:3000 to see the app.
