Hello users. I need help in making a search bar. But i cant use php on netlify. any alternatives? If you have one please tell me
Edit: as alternative i mean not php. i didnt mean an alternative to netlify.
hey there,
there are many different approaches to implementing a search on your site that don’t require PHP.
You could, for example, check out algolia, which is what powers the search on the netlify docs.
If you are using a SSG like Gatsby or Hugo for example, there are likely platform specific search plugins that will work for your needs. Basically, anything that runs in JS should do the trick.

If you’re building with plain js, I can highly recommend fuse: GitHub - krisk/Fuse: Lightweight fuzzy-search, in JavaScript
