Summary

Motivation

Replace the hosted Typesense search service with a static, browser-side Pagefind index that can be tuned and deployed with the website itself. Easier development and we can remove Typesense related secrets.

Changes

  • Generate the Pagefind index in production, preview, and local website builds.
  • Make Pagefind the only search client and link every result to its canonical page URL.
  • Generate a small static exact-doc index for components and VRL functions.
  • Pin exact queries such as vector sink and encrypt_ip to their canonical component page or function anchor, followed by Pagefind's remaining ranked results.
  • Keep a matching subsection only as the result excerpt, so document searches show the document title rather than a subsection as the result title.
  • Remove the Typesense client, sync/index scripts, configuration, dependency exception, and service-specific build steps.

Vector configuration

  • make preview-build (553 generated pages; 517 indexed by Pagefind)
  • Verified encrypt_ip ranks /docs/reference/vrl/functions/#encrypt_ip first, followed by the remaining Pagefind results.
  • Verified vector sink ranks /docs/reference/configuration/sinks/vector/ first, followed by the remaining Pagefind results.
  • git diff --check

Looking for encrypt_ip gets me the correct page as the first result. Looking for encrypt_ only though only shows me the VRL examples page instead with no match for the encrypt_ip function reference. Is it possible to make it so encrypt_ also gets a hit for the correct page?

This looks snappy in mobile too 🙂.

It is an improvement over Typesense and it's statically served over vector.dev with one less external dependency, so a nice improvement overall. Approving to unblock
