Some of the [Search tools](https://gohugo.io/tools/search/) in the docs mention lunrjs, which hasn’t had any action in 6 years [GitHub - olivernn/lunr.js: A bit like Solr, but much smaller and not as bright · GitHub](https://github.com/olivernn/lunr.js).

Recommended alternatives:

2. [GitHub - nextapps-de/flexsearch: Next-generation full-text search library for Browser and Node.js · GitHub](https://github.com/nextapps-de/flexsearch)
3. [GitHub - krisk/Fuse: Lightweight fuzzy-search, in JavaScript · GitHub](https://github.com/krisk/fuse)
