09:36 PMAh, I guess you could count the search bar on Typesense’s own docs site as an example of this. We use this mechanism to scrape, index in Typesense and search: https://typesense.org/docs/guide/docsearch.html
It says “Documentation sites”, but this mechanism can be used for any site that has a consistent structure.
