Holmes is a tiny (~2KB) JavaScript library that filters visible DOM elements on a page based on text typed into a search input. It matches against innerText of elements selected via querySelectorAll and toggles CSS classes to show or hide them.
Use cases
- filter a list of items on a page as the user types
- add instant client-side search to a small static page
- hide non-matching DOM elements with a search box
- highlight matching text in search results
- add a lightweight no-backend search to a FAQ or docs list
When to choose
- you have a limited number of items already rendered in the DOM
- you want a minimal dependency with no backend or index
- you don't need typo tolerance or fuzzy matching
When to avoid
- you need to search large datasets or server-side content
- you need typo tolerance, ranking, or relevance scoring
- your content is loaded dynamically and not present in the DOM
