ZBSearch (default)

Overview

Fumadocs configures the ZBSearch search engine out of the box.

It searches through an API endpoint running on the server, or through a statically cached JSON file for static sites.

Setup

Create a search dialog.

The default search dialog uses this client. Re-create it to customize the dialog:

components/search.tsx

'use client';
import { useFetchSearch } from 'fumadocs-core/search/client';
import {
  SearchDialog,
  SearchDialogClose,
  SearchDialogContent,
  SearchDialogHeader,
  SearchDialogIcon,
  SearchDialogInput,
  SearchDialogList,
  SearchDialogOverlay,
  type SharedProps,
} from 'fumadocs-ui/components/dialog/search';
import { useI18n } from 'fumadocs-ui/contexts/i18n';

export default function DefaultSearchDialog(props: SharedProps) {
  const { locale } = useI18n(); // (optional) for i18n
  const search = useFetchSearch({
    locale,
  });

  return (
    <SearchDialog {...search} {...props}>
      <SearchDialogOverlay />
      <SearchDialogContent>
        <SearchDialogHeader>
          <SearchDialogIcon />
          <SearchDialogInput />
          <SearchDialogClose />
        </SearchDialogHeader>
        <SearchDialogList />
      </SearchDialogContent>
    </SearchDialog>
  );
}

Replace Search Dialog

Pass your search dialog to <RootProvider />. The root layout is a server component, so wrap the provider in a client component first:

'use client';
import { RootProvider } from 'fumadocs-ui/provider/next';
import SearchDialog from '@/components/search';
import type { ReactNode } from 'react';

export function Provider({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
  return <RootProvider search={{ SearchDialog }}>{children}</RootProvider>;
}

Tag Filter

Optionally, you can add UI for filtering results by tags. Configure Tag Filter on search server and add the following:

'use client';

import {
  SearchDialog,
  SearchDialogContent,
  SearchDialogFooter,
  SearchDialogOverlay,
  type SharedProps,
  TagsList,
  TagsListItem,
} from 'fumadocs-ui/components/dialog/search';
import { useState } from 'react';
import { useFetchSearch } from 'fumadocs-core/search/client';

export default function CustomSearchDialog(props: SharedProps) {
  const [tag, setTag] = useState<string | undefined>();
  const search = useFetchSearch({
    tag, 
  });

  return (
    <SearchDialog {...search} {...props}>
      <SearchDialogOverlay />
      <SearchDialogContent>
        ...
        <SearchDialogFooter className="flex flex-row">
          <TagsList tag={tag} onTagChange={setTag}>
            <TagsListItem value="my-value">My Value</TagsListItem>
          </TagsList>
        </SearchDialogFooter>
      </SearchDialogContent>
    </SearchDialog>
  );
}
