A static website with a dynamic search function? Yes, Hugo provides an alternative to embeddable scripts from Google or other search engines for static websites. Hugo allows you to provide your visitors with a custom search function by indexing your content files directly.
Open source
- Pagefind
- A fully static search library that aims to perform well on large sites, while using as little of your users' bandwidth as possible.
- GitHub Gist for Hugo Workflow
- This gist contains a simple workflow to create a search index for your static website. It uses a simple Grunt script to index all your content files and lunr.js to serve the search results.
- hugo-lunr
- A simple way to add site search to your static Hugo site using lunr.js. Hugo-lunr will create an index file of any HTML and Markdown documents in your Hugo project.
- hugo-lunr-zh
- A bit like Hugo-lunr, but Hugo-lunr-zh can help you separate the Chinese keywords.
- GitHub Gist for Fuse.js integration
- This gist demonstrates how to leverage Hugo's existing build time processing to generate a searchable JSON index used by Fuse.js on the client-side. Although this gist uses Fuse.js for fuzzy matching, any client-side search tool capable of reading JSON indexes will work. Does not require npm, grunt, or other build-time tools except Hugo!
- hugo-search-index
