Ask HN: What's the best way to add search to my website?

Rayrun

Your website https://ray.run/ does have that nostalgic early 2000s vibe, which is cool! Regarding the search functionality, you might want to explore open-source alternatives to Algolia. Projects like Elasticsearch, Solr, or even using Google Custom Search can provide search capabilities without the cost. They might require a bit more setup and maintenance, but they can be budget-friendly options for a free community. In case you need help or assistance with your project, feel free to contact us! https://www.ratherlabs.com.

Stork Search

If your content is mostly static, you might want to consider pre-building an index and shipping it as a whole. You could look into something like * https://stork-search.net/ (Rust/WASM) * tinysearch: https://github.com/tinysearch/tinysearch (JS, simple, stable) * http://elasticlunr.com/ - based on the former, slightly more sophisticated tuning options.
