ToC

View demo here

  • We'll be using yml/yaml format for all examples down below, I recommend using yml over toml as it is easier to read.

  • You can find any YML to TOML converters if necessary.

    - RSS
    - JSON # necessary for search

Create a page with search.md in content directory with following content

layout: "search" # necessary for search
# url: "/archive"
# description: "Description for Search"

placeholder: "placeholder text in search input box"
---

To hide a particular page from being searched, add it in post's frontmatter

searchHidden: true

ex: search.md

Search Page also has Key bindings:

  • Arrow keys to move up/down the list
  • Enter key (return) or Right Arrow key to go to the highlighted page
  • Escape key to clear searchbox and results

For Multilingual use search.<lang>.md ex. search.es.md.
