Code Structure

The code starts by requiring the necessary modules, including the Express framework and the Undici module, which is used to handle HTTP requests. The code then sets up the Express application by enabling JSON parsing and setting the view engine to EJS. The views folder, where the EJS templates are stored, is also set up.

The assets folder, where static files such as CSS and images are stored, is also set up and made available through the '/assets' endpoint.

The code sets up two endpoints for handling requests:

• The '/' endpoint, which serves the index page of the application.
• The '/search' endpoint, which is responsible for handling the search functionality.
