Custom installation

Use a custom AddSearch installation when you want to match your website's unique design or display extensive structured data within search results.

Tools for custom installation​

AddSearch provides several options to build your custom search interface:

  • REST API: A standard protocol API for fetching search results. See the Search Results API documentation for details.
  • JavaScript Client: A client library built on the REST API to simplify integration. Available at the AddSearch js-client-library GitHub repository.
  • Search UI Library: A flexible and powerful toolkit to add various search interface elements to your webpages. You can define their content using templates.

Using the Search UI Library​

The Search UI library comes with pre-defined templates enabling quick setup. For customized interfaces, modify these templates or create your own, which requires familiarity with HTML and basic coding skills.

Getting started​

This approach helps you tailor the search experience to your site's requirements while leveraging AddSearch's tools.
