I implemented a basic search function for my static website using #Elasticlunr.
I followed this article:
https://www.belter.io/eleventy-search/
But I had to fix and improve a few points.
My biggest concern was to keep the search-index file small, while still searching the full text. I think splitting it in multiple parts and only loading what is needed would be a nice thing.
