__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 genuinely one of its best and most-loved assets: fast, multi-lingual, 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.

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.
