Character and Subsector generators for Classic Traveller, with TAS Forms!
I have no idea if these are useful, but do let me know your feedback and feel free to ask questions. I should probably note that I have never played this game (yet)! There are definitely bugs, some omissions, and the layouts can be wonky especially on mobile - I'm far from a professional web developer. The source code for the site is available on GitHub (be warned, this is my first project with TypeScript, or JS in general).

Character and Subsector generators for Classic Traveller, with TAS Forms!
I wrote an online catalog a while back (and I need to get back on adding graphics and products at some point). It’s written using Eleventy and the minisearch library. The source and data are available on Github if you want to see how I did things. I’m not a professional web designer either, but it was a fun project.

What do you use for site search? Custom built solution? Meilisearch? Algolia?
If you're dealing with thousands of records or less, searching titles and summaries rather than long bodies of text, I recommend looking into client-side solutions. Nothing beats the responsiveness of search-as-you-type entirely on the client side. It can be fairly sophisticated fulltext search. For example, I've built had great success with MiniSearch.

Lyra: Fast, in-memory, typo-tolerant, full-text search engine in TypeScript
I quite enjoy minisearch[1] which is also 0 dependencies, actively maintained, and I expect would work well in a worker environment. I dropped it into a service worker and plugged it with a simple point in polygon script to enable geosearch for a recent project[2] and it played v. nicely.

I highly recommend the Omnisearch plugin.
No magic here, the underlying engine is Minisearch, which uses the BM25 algorithm (the de facto standard among search libraries). Omnisearch adds a magic sauce during indexing by converting notes into custom objects, with the following fields: - body (the plain markdown text) - filename & yaml aliases - level 1 headers - level 2 headers - level 3 headers

For lovers of instant search and Ctrl+K menus, we made an open-source tool to add that to your website in 2 steps: 1. Enter your URL 2. Add code snippet to <head>. Links and code in comments!
It's actually really simple! Minisearch did most of the heavy lifting so all we needed to do was the crawling, storing and UI etc. I'd check that out if you're interested in the search part!

We use MiniSearch for searching, while fast-fuzzy is used for highlighting of detected search terms.
