  • you are familiar with fetch API or jQuery Ajax and would like to write your own search engine. You can implement one by yourself according to the theme NexT. Read the source code of this theme. Generally there are 3 steps:
    1. write a search view. This is the place for displaying a search form and search results ;
    2. write a search script. This script tells the browser how to grab search data and filter out contents what we're searching;
    3. tell hexo to connect the above two part.
