Search

Implement document search in your docs

Fumadocs UI provides a good-looking search UI for your docs, the search functionality is instead provided and documented on Fumadocs Core.

See Document Search.

Search UI

Open with ⌘ K or Ctrl K.

Configurations

You can customize search UI from the Root Provider component in root layout.

When not specified, it uses the Default fetch Search Client powered by Orama.

Custom Links

Add custom link items to search dialog. They are shown as fallbacks when the query is empty.

app/layout.tsx
import { RootProvider } 










Disable Search

To opt-out of document search, disable it from root provider.

import { RootProvider } 







Hot Keys

Customise the hot keys to trigger search dialog.

import { RootProvider } 












Tag Filter

Add UI to change filters. Make sure to configure Tag Filter on search server first.

import { RootProvider } 















Search Options

Pass options to the search client, like changing the API endpoint for Orama search server:

import { RootProvider } 









Replace Search Dialog

You can replace the default Search Dialog with:

components/search.tsx
'use client'






To pass it to the Root Provider, you need a wrapper with use client directive.

provider.tsx
'use client';
















Use it instead of your previous Root Provider

layout.tsx
import { Provider } 










Other Solutions

Algolia

For the setup guide, see Integrate Algolia Search.

While generally we recommend building your own search with their client-side SDK, you can also plug the built-in dialog interface.

components/search.tsx
'use client'









  1. Replace appId, apiKey and indexName with your desired values.

  2. Replace the default search dialog with your new component.

Note

The built-in implementation doesn't use instant search (their official javascript client).

Tag Filter

Same as default search client, you can configure Tag Filter on the dialog.

components/search.tsx
import SearchDialog 









Orama Cloud

For the setup guide, see Integrate Orama Cloud.

components/search.tsx
'use client'












  1. Replace endpoint, apiKey with your desired values.
  2. Replace the default search dialog with your new component.

Built-in UI

If you want to use the built-in search dialog UI instead of building your own, you may use the SearchDialog component.

import {






Unstable

It is an internal API, might break during iterations
