  • Add Pagefind Search to Hugo
    4 projects | dev.to | 10 Apr 2025
    Every PKMS/BASB needs a search functionality. Ever since I've created brainfck to host my own collection of thoughts/ideas/resources (aka Zettelkasten) I wanted to be able to actually search within my collection of org-roam based notes. Meanwhile for all my sites I own (this blog, my CV/portfolio, brainfck and defersec) I use hugo. All of them didn't have proper search capabilities. That's why I was looking for a proper way to include search functionalities without any major effort.
