tinysearch is a lightweight full-text search engine for static websites, written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly to run entirely in the browser. It produces a compact self-contained index (~2 kB per article) that works with static site generators like Jekyll, Hugo, and Zola as an alternative to lunr.js or external services like Algolia.
Use cases
- add search to a static website without a backend
- replace lunr.js with a smaller client-side search
- add full-text search to a Hugo or Jekyll blog
- self-hosted search without external services like Algolia or Google
- compact offline search index for a small blog
- client-side search using WebAssembly
When to choose
- your static site is small to medium sized (hundreds of posts)
- you want zero external dependencies and no server-side search
- payload size matters and JavaScript-heavy solutions like lunr.js are too large
- you use a static site generator and can produce a JSON index
When to avoid
- your site is very large (thousands of articles) since the whole index ships as one binary
- you need fuzzy matching, ranking, or advanced query features
- you need server-side search or dynamic content indexing
- you need prefix search on body text with the xor8 indexer
