## Overview

The search configuration enables you to add fast, reliable search capabilities to your documentation site. You can choose from several search providers depending on whether you want a lightweight client-side solution or a fully managed cloud search service. 

Supported providers: `fetch`, `static`, `algolia`, `orama-cloud`, `orama-cloud-legacy`, `flexsearch-static`, `mixedbread`.

> [!NOTE]
> Search features allow your users to quickly find relevant pages, headings, and text snippets using keyboard shortcuts like `Ctrl + K` or `Cmd + K`.

## Setting Up Search Providers

### Flexsearch
Flexsearch provides a fast, zero-dependency in-memory search engine that runs locally. It indexes your documentation content and supports internationalization (i18n) and CJK character sets.

### Algolia
Algolia offers a hosted search engine. You can sync your documentation content to an Algolia index and query it directly from your search dialog using client configurations.

### Orama & Orama Cloud
Orama is a flexible search engine that supports full-text search, vector search embeddings, and server-side or static exports. Orama Cloud provides managed cloud search indexes and web crawlers.

### AI-Powered Search
You can also enable AI chat integration alongside standard search, allowing users to ask natural language questions backed by your documentation content using tools and language models.

## Configuration Options

The following table summarizes the main search options available when setting up search clients and dialogs:

| Option | Type | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `api` | `string` | The URL endpoint for fetching search results. |
| `delayMs` | `number` | The debounced delay in milliseconds before performing a search. |
| `tag` | `string \| string[]` | Filter search results using specific tags. |
| `locale` | `string` | Filter or target search results for a specific language locale. |
| `links` | `SearchLink[]` | Custom fallback links to display when search queries are empty. |
| `allowClear` | `boolean` | Allow users to clear tag filters in the search dialog. |

> [!TIP]
> Always define your search dependency arrays (`deps`) correctly if you are customizing search client hooks to prevent unnecessary re-fetching or rendering issues.
