Case Study: Sharypic achieves instant, typo-tolerant event photo discovery with Algolia Search

Sharypic benefits from Algolia Search

Sharypic is a Paris-based web and mobile app for collaborative photo sharing at events, offering features like a live PhotoWall and embeddable slideshows to boost attendee and online engagement. Their mobile search required users to type event names exactly, which limited discovery—especially on smartphones where typos and slow typing are common.

Sharypic integrated Algolia Search to provide fast, typo-tolerant, partial matching across event names, locations, descriptions, and hashtags. The result: much quicker, more forgiving searches that reduce user frustration, make it easier to find and explore events, and improve photo discovery and engagement—exactly the smoother mobile experience the founders wanted.
