Pagefind
Pagefind
Role
Powers the search box on oriz-blog, oriz-books, oriz-me. Indexes
generated dist/ HTML at build time, ships a small JS client.
Free tier
- Open source, no quota, no account
- Just an npm package and a build step
Card / subscription required?
NO. It's a CLI tool you run during build. There is no service.
Alternatives
- Algolia free (1M docs / 10K searches)
- MiniSearch (client-side, also no service)
Swap cost
Low — Pagefind is a build step. Removing it removes a build step.
Why this is our pick
Zero infra. Indexes the same dist/ we deploy. No service to
re-authenticate, no quota to track.
Cross-refs
- Cloudflare Pages — hosts the indexed dist
