About this widget # A

<PoweredBy> is a widget that lets you display the Algolia logo to redirect to the Algolia website.

Algolia requires that you display a “Search by Algolia” logo with a link if you only use your free usage credits, or are on a Community or Free legacy plan.

You can also create your own UI with usePoweredBy().
