v0.8.0 — Multisite

Important Changes

• For those using the JS API directly, the pagefind.options function is now async. This will not break current usage, but using newer options may require await pagefind.options({ ... }) for them to be applied

Features & Improvements

• Added Multisite search support, allowing you to search multiple indexes from one Pagefind instance. See the new Multisite documentation for more information
• Added a preload function to the JS search API, allowing you to warm Pagefind up before a search, or while the user is typing. See the Preload documentation for more information
• Added a timings object to the JS search API response

Fixes & Tweaks

• Passing a non-existent filter to the search function would previously be silently ignored. This will now return zero results
• Setting your baseURL to an external domain such as https://example.com would previously be prepended with a /. This is now handled correctly and will link off-site
• Pagefind would previously index search entities such as " without unescaping them. This is now fixed and these characters will be skipped
• Searching for only punctuation would previously return all pages currently loaded into the Pagefind index. This will now return zero results
• Fixed a regression causing searches for hyphenated-phrases to return zero results
• Fixed Pagefind UI failing to match complex language codes such as zh-hans-tw to less complex translation files such as zh-tw
