Add full-text search to a static website using an index served with the site.
What you can use it for
Add full-text search to a static website using an index served with the site.
- Search static HTML without operating a search server.
- Prebuilt search interface with highlighted document results.
Workflow coverage and comparison notes
Replace the static website/documentation keyword-search slice of Algolia using an index built from HTML and served as static assets. Not real-time application search or managed Algolia analytics.
Before you switch
Requires a build/indexing step and integration into your website. Updates need a rebuilt index. Website hosting, storage, bandwidth and build compute may cost extra. No paid AI/API key is required for keyword search. This covers static documentation/content search, not live application data, Algolia managed analytics, global indexing APIs or full feature parity. The small local check does not establish production-scale performance.
