Configure Search

The theme offers three levels of search through the menu's search form:

1. In-page search: Highlights search terms on the current page
2. Search popup: Opens a popup with results from other pages
3. Dedicated search page: Accessible by clicking the magnifier glass or pressing ENTER

Each level requires the previous one to be enabled. If no search is configured, the search form won't appear.

{{%badge style="cyan" icon="gears" title=" "%}}Option{{%/badge%}} All levels are enabled by default. Disable them in hugo.toml:

• In-page search: disableSearch=true
• Search popup: disableSearchIndex=true
• Dedicated search page: disableSearchPage=true

{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}} [params] disableSearch = true disableSearchIndex = true disableSearchPage = true {{< /multiconfig >}}

{{%badge style="cyan" icon="gears" title=" "%}}Option{{%/badge%}} Default URLs can be changed with the following parameter

• Search popup: searchindex.js set by searchIndexURL
• Dedicated search page: search/index.html set by searchPageURL

{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}} [params] searchIndexURL = 'mysearchindex.js' searchPageURL = 'megasearch' {{< /multiconfig >}}

{{% notice note %}} Only change these if you have content at those URLs. This can happen with uglyURLs=true in hugo.toml and having a content file at content/search.md.

Check for duplicate URLs by running hugo --printPathWarnings. {{% /notice %}}

Supported Languages

The Lunr search library doesn't support all languages of the theme. Unsupported languages will show errors in the browser console. Currently unsupported are

• Czech
• Indonesian
• Polish
• Swahili

Mixed Language Support

{{%badge style="cyan" icon="gears" title=" "%}}Option{{%/badge%}} In case your page's content contains text in multiple languages (for example, you are writing a Piratish documentation for your English API), you can set those languages in additionalContentLanguage to broaden the search.

{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}} [params] additionalContentLanguage = [ "en" ] {{< /multiconfig >}}

You can add multiple languages to this array.

{{% notice note %}} Use the base language code. For example, if your page is using zh-CN, add zh to this parameter. {{% /notice %}}
