What is Stork?
Stork is a library focused on bringing powerful, visually appealing, and high-speed full-text search capabilities to static websites and personal blogs. It operates as a two-part system: a command-line tool that indexes your local document collection and generates a compact search index file, and a lightweight JavaScript/WebAssembly library that instantly queries this index in the browser, providing users with highly responsive search experiences.
Developers can easily integrate Stork into their projects by following simple setup steps and customize its appearance with CSS or pre-made themes. The tool is ideal for Jamstack architectures, personal blogs, documentation websites, and other static content environments where serverless, client-side search is needed. Stork's flexibility in configuring indices and metadata ensures precision and adaptability to diverse content structures.
