Search Enabled: Powering The Custom Engine Blog with Algolia

We’re excited to announce that The Custom Engine blog now features powerful search functionality powered by Algolia!

Why Search?

As our collection of technical samples, patterns, and best practices for Microsoft Copilot Studio continues to grow, we recognized the need for a faster, more intuitive way to help you find exactly what you’re looking for. With nearly 30 blog posts covering everything from authentication patterns to MCP servers, agent-to-agent communication to custom knowledge sources, finding the right content quickly is now essential.

What You Get

The new search feature provides:

• Instant results as you type - No need to press Enter or click search
• Full-text search - Search across titles, content, categories, and tags
• Highlighted matches - See exactly where your search terms appear
• Rich result display - View post titles, categories, tags, and content snippets
• Smart ranking - The most relevant results appear first
• Typo tolerance - Find what you need even with misspellings

Try It Out

The search box is available on every page of the blog. Just start typing to see it in action! Try searching for:

• “authentication” - Find posts about SSO, OBO, and custom connectors
• “A2A” - Discover agent-to-agent communication patterns
• “MCP” - Explore Model Context Protocol integrations
• “Foundry” - Learn about Azure AI Foundry agent connections

We Hope You Like It

We hope this enhancement makes your experience with The Custom Engine blog more productive and enjoyable. As we continue to publish technical content for Microsoft Copilot Studio, you can now find exactly what you need—fast.

Happy searching!
