I’m happy to introduce SiteSearch – a new component that adds a fast, site-wide search to any Rapidweaver Elements project.
The idea has been on my list for a long time. I went through quite a few concepts before I finally had one I was happy with – and I needed it myself: WeaverPixel keeps growing, and visitors should find a product, a blog post or an answer without clicking through every page. So SiteSearch is already at work there – just click the magnifying glass in the header and give it a try.
Visitors type a word, and the right pages appear while they type, each with a short excerpt and every search word highlighted. With Jump to Match, a click opens the page right at the found text.
And it’s easy to set up: drop SiteSearch into your header and publish. It reads your sitemap and builds a small index right in the visitor’s browser – no PHP, no database, no license key. Navigation and footer are left out automatically, and CMS posts linked from your pages are found along with your static pages.
You decide how the results appear: in a list below the search field, in a search window that opens from a magnifying glass on smaller screens, or right in the page – perfect for a sidebar or a 404 page. Fonts and colors come from your theme, in light and dark mode, and every setting carries a description, so the Elements AI Assistant can set SiteSearch up for you.
SiteSearch: Every page of your site, just one word away.
