# Search

Doctopus generates a search index and provides a search widget to let users search the documentation.
This is the only feature that requires client-side JavaScript.
This just uses [Pagefind](https://pagefind.app/) in the background.

[Pagefind](https://pagefind.app/) already does what I would have built myself and it does a really good job at it.
