Do I (or you!) know someone who has experience (or ability) working with Pagefind https://pagefind.app to implement search for an @11ty based website who also happens to be available for hire?
I need someone who can use the search API to create a custom implementation with custom HTML markup, not just set up the default Pagefind behavior (which I can do already).
Thank you! #lazyWeb
@donnie Yes!
The requirements are listed in this post https://www.scottohara.me/blog/2022/02/05/dynamic-results.html — it's the same requirements I have except I never documented them and then Scott did so now I happily refer to his post until I write one of my own. The only exception among those in the article is the "press Esc to move focus back to search field", which is an enhancement that I don't normally consider but would be nice to have.
The ability to customize the markup for the search results is important to me.
@donnie Well, the search field itself must have a visible label and a description properly attached to it, and the results I would expect to be customizable in the sense that I could place the title and excerpt in a <li> or in an <article>, with or without headings, etc.
I would personally expect an <h> for the "Results" headline, and then a series of <article>s with <hx> inside them. Depending on where the search is used, I might change the markup a bit and maybe expose the results as a region
