Vitepress Simple Search
Vitepress needs better offline search. Let’s make it simple and quick.
Credit
Thanks to everyone here in this thread for offline search for getting the general idea implemented.
Features
- Utilizes front-matter for page titles.
- Auto-strips content of extra tags.
- Auto-reads all markdown documents, and creates search data based on that.
Required
Make sure all of your markdown documents have title in their front matter.
Example:
---
title: 'My Cool Document'
---
# {{ $frontmatter.title }}
Content, and everything else...
Installing
npm i vitepress-plugin-simple-search
Add the plugin
Create a file in docs called vite.config.js or vite.config.ts.
// docs/vite.config.js
import { SearchPlugin } from "vitepress-plugin-simple-search";
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [SearchPlugin()],
});
Additional Options
If you have a base url, append it inside of SearchPlugin().
Example
SearchPlugin('/my-repo')
