Search

By default, docStatic is configured to use Lunr search. Its main advantage is that it's a zero cost solution. Its main disadvantage is that the entire search index is downloaded to the user's browser; the larger your site gets, the slower it gets.

A variety of alternatives are available as Docusaurus plugins, including:

• Algolia (pre-installed)
• Markprompt
• Meilisearch
• Orama
• Typesense DocSearch

For more information, refer to Search in the Docusaurus documentation.
