Builds the index after the static site build step. No server required. Supports custom sorts, filtering, weighting, and multi-language. Includes a pre-built UI with highlighting of search terms. Indexes HTML by default, but can be customized to add any files e.g. PDFs, JSON, etc. ### Tradeoffs Non-HTML files must be added individually through the custom index config.
