Add a custom block to render the search UI

Created on 26 June 2025, about 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

Creating a search page with Typesense isn’t exactly beginner-friendly. Right now, if you want to set one up, you need to dive into code and manually build it using the InstantSearch.js library. This can be a real challenge for SiteBuilders or content editors who don’t have much coding experience. As a result, many users might shy away from using Typesense, even though it's a powerful search engine.

Proposed resolution

To make things easier, I’m working on a ready-to-use search block that comes with a clean, standard UI out of the box. This block can be easily added to any part of the site—no coding required. With this approach, even non-developers can take full advantage of Typesense and offer fast, modern search functionality on their Drupal sites. It’s a big step toward making advanced search more accessible to everyone!
