TLDR andy inquired about examples of live sites using Typesense for website link search. Jason suggested the search bar on Typesense's docs site as a reference.

Ah, 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.

i think i will just play with it and see what happens, it all looks very logical and nicely documented.
