Its README frames it as a small-browser-payload alternative to heavier JavaScript search libraries for blogs and other small to medium static sites. ### Project history The public GitHub repository was created in January 2018. The official README says tinysearch is a Rust/WASM port of Python code from the article 'Writing a full-text search engine using Bloom filters' and later uses an Xor Filter data structure for compact approximate membership tests. ### Adoption history The README documents installation from crates.io, optional WebAssembly optimization with Binaryen, Docker images, a GitHub Action for deployment pipelines, and examples for static site generators such as Jekyll, Hugo, Zola, Cobalt, and Pelican. It also lists several websites using tinysearch, including Matthias Endler's blog, OutOfCheeseError, and the Museum of Warsaw Archdiocese. ### How it is used Users provide a JSON index, optionally add tinysearch.toml beside that index to choose indexed and metadata fields, and run the CLI to generate a dependency-free WebAssembly search module. The README includes development and release modes, optimization flags, Docker usage, and library usage for Rust callers. ### Why package nerds care tinysearch is a package-nerd tool because it turns static-site search into a build artifact rather than a hosted service. It appeals to users of static site generators, Rust tooling, WebAssembly, Cargo, Homebrew, Docker, and CI pipelines who want search without a backend or a large JavaScript dependency. ### Timeline - 2018: Public GitHub repository created. - 2019: The README-linked maintainer blog became one of the documented users of tinysearch. - 2026: Repository metadata still showed active packaging interest and thousands of GitHub stars. ### Related projects - tinysearch is related to lunr.js and elasticlunr as lighter alternatives in the same static-site search niche, and to Jekyll, Hugo, Zola, Cobalt, and Pelican as target site generators. ### Sources - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
