Stork is a high-performance, client-side full-text search library designed specifically for static websites, offering instant and accurate search results without requiring a backend server. It operates through a two-part system: a command-line tool that indexes content and generates a compact search index, and a JavaScript library that loads this index in the browser and performs searches in real time. Built in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly, Stork achieves extremely fast query performance while maintaining a small footprint suitable for static site deployment. The search interface updates results as the user types, providing an interactive and responsive experience. It is particularly well-suited for Jamstack architectures, blogs, and documentation sites where simplicity and performance are critical. Stork is also customizable, allowing developers to tailor the search UI and behavior to match their site’s design and needs.
