Today, together, MkDocs and Material for MkDocs are among the most popular
|
|
options when it comes to choosing a static site generator and theme for your
|
|
technical documentation project. Material for MkDocs ensures that your
|
|
content is always perfectly presented to your audience, regardless of screen
|
|
resolution or device capabilities. It has evolved to a framework for technical
|
|
writing, offering many features, some of which are yet to be found in other
|
|
static site generators. However, we're far from the end, as 2022 is going to
|
|
bring some interesting new capabilities.

## [Excluding content from search]
|
|
|
|
__The latest Insiders release brings three new simple ways to exclude dedicated
|
|
parts of a document from the search index, allowing for more fine-grained
|
|
control.__

Two weeks ago, Material for MkDocs Insiders shipped a brand new search plugin,
|
|
yielding massive improvements in usability, but also in speed and size of the
|
|
search index. Interestingly, as discussed in the previous blog article, we only
|
|
scratched the surface of what's now possible. This release brings some useful
|
|
features that enhance the writing experience, allowing for more fine-grained
|
|
control of what pages, sections and blocks of a Markdown file should be indexed
|
|
by the built-in search functionality.

## [Search: better, faster, smaller]
|
|
|
|
__This is the story of how we managed to completely rebuild client-side search,
|
|
delivering a significantly better user experience while making it faster and
|
|
smaller at the same time.__

The search of Material for MkDocs is by far one of its best and most-loved
|
|
assets: multilingual, offline-capable, and most importantly: _all client-side_.
|
|
It provides a solution to empower the users of your documentation to find what
|
|
they're searching for instantly without the headache of managing additional
|
|
servers. However, even though several iterations have been made, there's still
|
|
some room for improvement, which is why we rebuilt the search plugin and
|
|
integration from the ground up. This article shines some light on the internals
|
|
of the new search, why it's much more powerful than the previous version, and
|
|
what's about to come.
