Stork

Stork is a search library for static sites, built from a Rust command-line tool and a JavaScript library. The tool reads a list of documents from a configuration file and writes a search index file, which is uploaded to the web server. The JavaScript library, which runs WebAssembly, loads that index in the visitor’s browser and shows results as the visitor types. The command-line tool installs with Homebrew, from a binary download, or with Cargo.
