Problem Solved By The Feature

When migrating to a Docusaurus website, we lost out-of-the-box search functionality. This increases the burden of finding a specific piece of information on the website and online documentation.

Solution

Option A: Algolia DocSearch

The @docusaurus/preset-classic preset has native support for Algolia DocSearch and open-source projects can apply for a free Algolia DocSearch license.

Option B: Local search

Suggestion: Docusaurus Search is a local/offline search plugin for Docusaurus, meaning no 3rd party service is required. See alternatives in alternatives Considered.
