Site Search

Give visitors a Search Box to find content across your site. Aglyn ships a built-in search page — there's nothing to configure, enable, or index.

Included on every plan, free tiers too.

How it works​

The Search Box element is a simple form: a visitor types a query and submits it to your site's built-in /search page, which renders the matching results. There's no JavaScript and no external search service — the page reads your published content directly when the visitor searches.

What it searches​

A search matches the query as a case-insensitive substring across three kinds of content:

  • Screens — the screen's name, description, and SEO title and description.
  • Blog & collection entries — published entries' title, excerpt, and body (see collections).
  • Dataset records — a record's dataset values. A record only appears in results when a published screen repeats over that dataset, so the result can link to a real page.

Results are listed in that order (screens, then entries, then records), up to 50 matches. There's no relevance ranking — matching is a straight substring test — so clear titles and descriptions make results more useful. The /search results page is excluded from search engines, and search is a reserved screen slug.

Configure it​

The Search Box exposes one setting — its Placeholder text. There are no scope, result-limit, or styling options; the box inherits your site theme.
