An alternative to this could be to sort the list by most recently edited. That would mean the item I want will be put to the top of the list if it was edited last, making it easier to find.

Thanks for coming back to me Michael.

I just found a filter in the plugin to change the batch size. I’ve reduced this from 100 to 25, and this has resolved the issue as smaller amounts of data are being pushed in one go so I’m not hitting the timeout issue.

Here’s an example which might be useful for someone else in future:

/**
 * Reduce the batch size to ensure that we don't get timeouts when doing a full reindex of site.
 */
add_filter(
    'algolia_indexing_batch_size',
    function () {
        return 25;
    }
);

Essentially we want to create an entirely custom search page using custom Gutenberg blocks.

I’m hoping to use the plugin primarily as an easy way to hook into the indexing process for a specific post_type and output a completely custom page with searchable data.

Basically using the plugin as more of a library to handle the communication and indexing within Algolia rather than specifically implementing search on my site.
