Algolia Search: DocSearch API v3 doesn't seem to have 'inputSelector' any more

[mhansen]

Hi there, I'm trying to add Algolia Docsearch to www.graphviz.org.

The Docsy docs at https://www.docsy.dev/docs/adding-content/navigation/#adding-algolia-docsearch say

Update the inputSelector field in the body end Javascript with the appropriate CSS selector (e.g. .td-search-input to use the default CSS from this theme).

I can't find an inputSelector option in the Docsearch API v3: https://docsearch.algolia.com/docs/api. It looks like this was a thing for Docsearch API v2: https://docsearch.algolia.com/docs/legacy/dropdown.

The DocSearch API v3 wants you to give a container that they render the searchbox into, it seems.

I'll probably just roll with API v2 for now (so this isn't an urgent issue or anything), just wanted to file it as FYI.

I see. @alexearnshaw added our Algolia integration so might have some ideas about how/if we should update.

Hey!
Is there some news if and when you would be able to update it?
