docusaurus-search-local VS docsearch

If & when relevant: from looking into self-hosted search options to accompany docusaurus, https://github.com/cmfcmf/docusaurus-search-local looks like one potential candidate (search is performed locally; so your mileage may vary based on the document set size).

I found a way to fix the error editing the plugin itself. thanks to Shigeru-Sakurai

Great work! How it would be different from Algolia DocSearch?

Additionally, Algolia’s DocSearch has been integrated for improved search experience.

First, register with Algolia. Then you need to upload the document information in VuePress application to Algolia. DocSearch provides a crawler and UI to easily crawl index information and upload it. However, you need to meet certain conditions to apply for this service. Fortunately, the old version of DocSearch provided a solution to run the crawler yourself. So I ended up with the Run Your Own solution.

Can't use a free tier SaaS service like Algolia DocSearch. (e.g. private site, your use case dosen't fit the ToS, etc.)

When planning the feature I stated that More complex sites will probably (and should) use Algolia, which is an amazing service that I personally use for some sites (Thank you DocSearch!)

Docusaurus powers the documentation sites for many of the tools developers use every day, including Algolia Docsearch, Jest, React Native, and Redis.

Yes, search is definitely on the "roadmap" (if there is such a thing). A simple substring search across all protocols should be relatively easy to implement. But from your description it sounds like an integration with docsearch (or a similar service) would be more appropriate.
