feat: add pagefind search

miketheman · miketheman · commit ddc20a4986ae · 2025-01-31T15:50:20.000+01:00
Instead of using sphinx's built-in search which has some challenges in its implementation, as well as the integration with the customized builder and theme, use a different approach. Pagefind will generate fragments that can be loaded client-side efficiently. Refs: https://pagefind.app/ Refs: https://pypi.org/project/pagefind/ Signed-off-by: Mike Fiedler <miketheman@gmail.com>
