StaticSearch is a simple search engine you can add to any static website. It uses client-side JavaScript and JSON data files so there is no need for back-end server technologies or a database.

Try StaticSearch: click the search icon in the header or press Ctrl | Cmd + K

StaticSearch works well with Publican sites but can be used on any static website no matter how it’s generated. It currently works best on English language sites, but most Western languages are supported.

Using StaticSearch is a two-step process:

  1. Index a directory containing your static website files

    This can be run from the command line or integrated into any Node.js project and configured with environment variables or API configuration properties.

  2. Add a search facility to your website

    You can use a web component, bind module, or the search API.
