# Typesense Guide

The guide section of the documentation walks you through how to use Typesense in different scenarios. 

For a high-level overview of Typesense, what you can use it for, and some live-demos, read the [**Overview**](../overview/README.md) section. 
For a detailed dive into the Typesense API, refer to our [**API Documentation**](/30.2/api/).

## Quick Start

For a quick step-by-step walk-through, follow these articles in the order below:

1. Skim through Typesense's [key Use-Cases](../overview/use-cases.md) (It's much more than full text search) and [Live Demos](../overview/demos.md)
2. [Install Typesense](./install-typesense.md)
3. [Install a Client Library](./installing-a-client.md)
4. [Build a Search Application](./building-a-search-application.md)
5. [Build a Search UI](./search-ui-components.md)
6. If you're an Algolia user, follow the [Migrating from Algolia](./migrating-from-algolia.md) guide
7. For documentation site search, follow the [DocSearch](./docsearch.md) guide
8. Review [Best Practices](./running-in-production.md)

Read through the rest of the guide using the links in the left-side pane.

For a detailed dive into the Typesense API, refer to our [**API Documentation**](/30.2/api/).

### Getting Help

We've strived to keep Typesense as self-service and out-of-the-box as possible, with fully public documentation. 

But if you have any questions, here are some ways to get additional help:

- Read through our [Frequently Asked Questions](/guide/faqs.md) or browse through the nav bar on the left-pane in our [Guide](/guide/README.md) for relevant articles - we've put these articles together based on feedback from several users.
- Use GitHub's native search to search through past conversations in our [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/search?q=org%3Atypesense++issues&type=issues).
- Browse and search through [past conversations](https://threads.typesense.org/) in our Slack community.
- Open a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/typesense/typesense/issues) with any questions or bug reports.
- Join our public [Slack community](https://typesense.link/slack-community) to discuss general questions and/or issues.
- Schedule a call with a member of the core Typesense team, by [sponsoring Typesense on GitHub](https://github.com/sponsors/typesense?frequency=one-time) and picking the appropriate one-time sponsorship tier, and email us at contact at typesense dot org
