Show HN: Open-source UI primitives for building docs search-bar
Hi. I am building open-source web-components for building search-bar. Most of config can be done declaratively with html tags. It works for any search-index, any documentation.
Here I made local search playground(https://getcanary.dev/docs/local/playground) with Pagefind(https://pagefind.app) with Litellm, Mistral, and Prisma.
Please let me know what you guys think!

SQLite FTS5 Extension
I once tried to use sql.js [1] on a static site for full text search. It worked, but the resulting database size for that site was too large for the web, even with things like detail=none and content='' applied, and requiring the user to download a database each time was just no go. (I guess things should work better for sites with less content or those not requiring a trigram tokenizer.)
I switched to Pagefind [2] afterwards before finding out a sql.js-httpvfs [3] fork of sql.js that removes exactly the need to fully download a database (with HTTP range requests). I haven't got the chance to test sql.js-httpvfs out though, but it looks pretty sound and could be much more flexible than Pagefind. (Previously discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27016630 .)

Adding search to a static Astro website
I always like it when a website includes a search page, it makes it easy to find the relevant content you're looking for. This is especially useful when your website starts growing, and you've written a whole bunch of blog posts for example (it's me 😅). At my agency job I create websites for large corporations with large budgets, and we usually go for Algolia there, since it's quite easy to use and it has some out of the box React components etc. But Algolia gets quite pricy quite fast, so I wanted to look into something self hosted for my website. I looked into what the Astro team is doing on their Starlight website, and found out they use Pagefind, "A fully static search library that aims to perform well on large sites, while using as little of your users’ bandwidth as possible, and without hosting any infrastructure". Sounds good to me, let's start using it!

A tale about migrating a 200 entries Gatsby blog untouched for 3 years to Astro
Search: Using our old search was not possible nor wanted and I found a great static page search in Pagefind. There is even a simple Astro integration to avoid boilerplate code. The search is both faster than before, accessible through the shortcut / and has a nice excerpt as well as a picture for each result. Nice win!
