First search

This page provides the smallest copyable browser path from a deployed index manifest to rendered search results using only implemented exports.

Build an index as described in Indexing content, publish the generated directory at /search-index/, and copy @ktjn/searchable-client's built worker to /assets/worker.js. Then create one client:

import { SearchClient } from "@ktjn/searchable-client";

const search = new SearchClient({
  indexUrl: "/search-index/manifest.json",
  worker: true,
  workerUrl: new URL("/assets/worker.js", location.href),
});

const result = await search.search("getting started");
for (const hit of result.hits) {
  console.log(hit.fields.title, hit.url);
}

SearchClient resolves shard paths relative to the manifest URL. Worker execution is enabled only when both worker: true and workerUrl are supplied; otherwise the same API runs on the calling thread. Call search.dispose() when the client is no longer needed.

Add query features through SearchOptions, covered in the Client API reference.
