Hi Guys I tried to replicate the Hexo Document Theme ([here](https://zalando-incubator.github.io/hexo-theme-doc/index.html))

All went fine until I tried replicating search functionality from there. It seems to use lunr.js and it seems to read from a json file.

Whatever I search I get “There are no results for” followed by the search term, I entered. This is the default message given in the doc.js file when its not able to find any result.

I tried to see if the location of the JSON file is the cause. I am not sure what I am missing. Please help.

I zipped the project and uploaded here  
[https://github.com/yesiknowjava/hugohexodoc/blob/master/hugohexodoc.tar.gz](https://github.com/yesiknowjava/hugohexodoc/blob/master/hugohexodoc.tar.gz)

Can somebody help me find out what I have missed. Thank You very much.
