Configuration

The search is configured in the flexsearch section of the website configuration.

Indexed sections

The indexed sections are listed under flexsearch.sections, in the order of the result groups. By default, every root section of the website is indexed.

Limit

The limit option sets the maximum number of results displayed in a group.

Split pages

By default, each page is split into one record per <h2> and <h3> heading, linked to its anchor. Set split: false to index a single record per page, as for blog posts.

Date

Set date: true to display the date of the page in the results, instead of the breadcrumb.

Search options

The tokenize option sets how words are matched (strict, forward, reverse or full), and encoder sets how characters are normalized, for example to ignore accents.

Fields weight

Each indexed field (title, page, description and content) has a resolution, from 1 to 9: the higher, the more relevant a match in this field.

Fuzzy matching

With suggest: true, the search falls back to fuzzy matching when nothing matches strictly, so a typo still returns results.

Recent searches

The last selected results are stored in the browser (localStorage, one list per language) and displayed in a "Recent" group when the search box is opened. The recent option sets their maximum number (5 by default), or disables them with 0.
