The full text search presented here by Tanja Becker (Javascript) and myself (integration in Hugo) is based on a JSON array that contains all of the website’s content and a Javascript search function that processes the array. The JSON array is generated automatically by HUGO. Integrating the search f…

Funny, I have released a similar article lately, but with a different goal: [image] Building a full text search for Hugo A full text search is not always a simple task for static-site-generators. This is a full text search, however, the caveat is to use a datab…

Interesting solution! Will be remembered for other problems. Thanks! You’re right: I had a different goal. I wanted to write a recipe for HUGO dummies that can be used without any programming or server admin knowledge. I was also worried at first that it might be a bit slow. But I think for 90% of…

This sounds awesome, thanks for sharing it. I’m going to look into how we can integrate this into some starter sites we’re working on including in Site.js ( https://sitejs.org ).

[image] qianglu: Just wander if you could highlight the keyword searching. I don’t think this function is that important. Maybe someone else would like to extend the script? There are javascripts for keyword highlighting on the internet. What is missing is the looping through of the keyword t…

This works great for me locally. When I export the site, it is just showing “loading” under the search. A warning is displaying “Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at file:///index.json. (Reason: CORS request not HTTP).” I am still just gettin…
