StaticSearch is a simple search engine you can add to any static website. It uses client-side JavaScript and JSON data files so there's no need for back-end server technologies or databases.
StaticSearch works with Publican but can be used on any static site built by any generator. It currently works best on English language sites, but most Western languages can be used.

Any HTML element can be placed inside <static-search> to activate search when it's clicked. You can now rebuild the site to include this update and re-run the indexer.
