@aallam Can we have a look into this issue. Also algolia helper flutter is not exposing any way to change read and write timeout. May be we can update the api like this

 AlgoliaHitsSearchService({
    required String applicationID,
    required String apiKey,
    Duration connectTimeout = const Duration(seconds: 2),
    Duration writeTimeout = const Duration(seconds: 30),
    Duration readTimeout = const Duration(seconds: 5),
  }) : this.create(
          algolia.SearchClient(
            appId: applicationID,
            apiKey: apiKey,
            options: const algolia.ClientOptions(
              connectTimeout : connectTimeout,
              writeTimeout : writeTimeout,
              readTimeout : readTimeout,
              agentSegments: [
                algolia.AgentSegment(
                  value: 'algolia-helper-flutter',
                  version: libVersion,
                ),
              ],
            ),
          ),
        );

factory _HitsSearcher({
    required String applicationID,
    required String apiKey,
    required SearchState state,
    bool disjunctiveFacetingEnabled = true,
    Duration debounce = const Duration(milliseconds: 100),
    bool insights = false,
    Duration connectTimeout = const Duration(seconds: 2),
    Duration writeTimeout = const Duration(seconds: 30),
    Duration readTimeout = const Duration(seconds: 5),
  }) {
    final service = AlgoliaHitsSearchService(
      applicationID: applicationID,
      apiKey: apiKey,
      connectTimeout : connectTimeout,
      writeTimeout : writeTimeout,
      readTimeout : readTimeout,
    );

and then further exposing it to HitSearcher

@aallam We are failing host lookup here. Can you please help, any solution for these errors?

[ebsangam]

It is problem with the core package. The timeout duration is only 2 sec by default.

[dhayab]

Hi, we just published algolia_helper_flutter v1.1.0, which lets you customize client options from HitsSearcher.

[SdxCoder]

@dhayab these client options don't expose interceptor.
