tinysearch
A lightweight, fast, full-text search engine for static websites, written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly.
What is tinysearch?
tinysearch is a full-text search engine built for static websites. It indexes site content and compiles it into a compact WebAssembly module that runs entirely in the browser, eliminating the need for a backend search server. It solves the problem of adding fast, client-side search to static sites without bloating page sizes.
Developers and maintainers of static websites (blogs, documentation, portfolios) built with generators like Jekyll, Hugo, or Zola who need an integrated, lightweight search solution.
Developers choose tinysearch for its exceptionally small WASM footprint and Rust-based performance, offering a viable alternative to heavier JavaScript search libraries. Its focus on minimal bundle size makes search feasible for sites where every kilobyte counts.
