Search

Knowledge bases get full-text search out of the box. The index is built after the site (Pagefind), split into chunks that the browser fetches on demand from the same origin — so there is no search server, and it works behind the password without any setting. Landing pages have no search.

To switch it off in a knowledge base, set search: false in pages.config.js: the box disappears and the index is not built.

One limitation: a page opened by a URL that embeds credentials (https://admin:secret@docs.example.com/) cannot search — the browser refuses to fetch from such a URL. Log in through the browser’s dialog instead.
