Search

ReviteDocs includes full-text search powered by Pagefind.

How It Works

  1. Development: Uses MiniSearch for instant in-memory search
  2. Production: Uses Pagefind for optimized static search

Search is triggered with ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux).

Configuration

Enable search in your config:

export default defineConfig({
  search: {
    enabled: true,
  },
})

Search Index

The search index is automatically generated during build:

revitedocs build ./docs

This creates a pagefind/ directory in your output with the search index.

Search UI

The built-in search modal includes:

  • Keyboard navigation - Arrow keys to navigate, Enter to select
  • Highlighting - Search terms highlighted in results
  • Excerpts - Context around matches
  • Fast filtering - Results update as you type

Excluding Content

Add data-pagefind-ignore to exclude content from search:

<div data-pagefind-ignore>
  This content won't be indexed
</div>

Custom Search Weight

Prioritize certain content:

<h1 data-pagefind-weight="10">Important Title</h1>

Meta Information

Add custom metadata to search results:

<div data-pagefind-meta="category:guide">
  <!-- content -->
</div>

Pagefind search works completely offline. The entire index is:

  • Self-contained in static files
  • Lazy-loaded on first search
  • Cached by the browser

No server or API calls required.
