@lmika Thanks for trying it! I meant to add a help page with instructions, so your blog post is great in the meantime. There’s a lot more we could do… Maybe certain categories get used? Pagefind has some special HTML tags it looks for to include or exclude content.

@manton Yeah, I’m sure there’s much that can be done without adjusting the indexing: it looks really capable. But what you have here works really well already, and I’m quite excited to see how the action framework powering it develops in the future. Thanks for building it.

@lmika I installed PageFind as soon as I heard - but then like you … now what? After the @manton post today i dropped that code onto a new page and off to the races and despite warning that indexing might take time - pretty much straight away - though in fairness the plugin was installed days ago - so maybe it had just been quietly indexing all along?

Like you. also a ’‘search by @sod’ user for years - so trying to see how this is better … more control on what you are searching definitely good - and number of results - but how cool to have that under a visitors control - noting that in my world i am convinced that I am the only vistor that uses the search - but it is very very good for that - going back into history to find that thing you want to link to.

Thanks for your comments re changing parameters - now off to look more closely.

@JohnPhilpin Yeah, it looks like with a bit of JavaScript, it should be possible to make a lot available to visitors. Maybe the best approach is to just index everything and allow the user to choose their scope, page size, etc. That could be implemented in JavaScript quite easily.
