While upgrading to version 3 of Eleventy, I discovered that the official serverless plugin was no longer supported. That was how this site's search feature worked. To finish the upgrade, I needed to write my own serverless code and plugin to manage it. While the details of how the search feature

I’ve added a search page. It uses Pagefind. It turns out I’d already begun work on this with the original site. The clue was a commented-out line in my Makefile: index: npx -y pagefind --site ${SITE_DIR} All I needed to do was create a search page and add a snippet: --- layout: layouts/base.njk titl

I've been using Pagefind for my site search for a while now and would readily recommend it, but I wanted to throw together something a bit lighter weight and customizable.
