## Setting up search in Hugo configuration

To enable search functionality, you'll need to modify your `config.toml` file. First, enable the search button using `.params.search`. Then activate `.params.pagefind`, if you skip this step, the theme will default to using DuckDuckGo instead.

```toml
[params]
  search = true
  pagefind = true
```

## Setting up post frontmatter

To make post indexed, you'll need to set `type` to `post` to the frontmatter of each post.

```yaml
---
title: "Post"
type: post
---
```

## Setting up your CI/CD pipeline

To create the search index, add this command to your CI/CD pipeline's build step:

```yaml
- name: Index pagefind
  run: npx pagefind --source "public"
```
