Kind of issue

Missing information

Issue description

I was looking for how the algolia search is implemented on the homepage. As i can see it doesn't use any mui components, except for the hits that typography and badges are used. Is there any specific reasons on why this is not implemented using the mui's Autocomplete component?

Context 🔦

We need to implement algolia in our site and thinking of how we can do this using material ui. The first option is to build it without the components that are provided from algolia (instantsearch) so that we can leverage the mui components.

Research direction

Start at the homepage search implementation on mui.com and inspect how , Algolia InstantSearch, and MUI's Autocomplete are currently used. Clarify the desired in-house replacement, its scope, and acceptance criteria before identifying the relevant docs-infra entry points; done should mean the agreed search behavior is implemented without the current DocSearch integration.
