Algolia sadly cannot yet do things like "show me the items around/about $200", i don't care if the are +/- a few dollars


Hi there! I work at Algolia and I may have a solution for you: you can filter on ranges to offer that kind of experience.

For instance, if you decide to accept a +/- $20 margin, instead of filtering on exact price, you'd create a filter like `price < 180 AND price > 220` (replacing the numbers with your formula to calculate the range).

This gives you full power on what is the "error margin" you accept. Hope this helps!
