If you don’t want to use a package manager, you can use a standalone endpoint:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@docsearch/js@3"></script>

To get started, you need a container for your DocSearch component to go in. If you don’t have one already, you can insert one into your markup:

<div id="docsearch"></div>

Then, insert DocSearch into it by calling the docsearch function and providing the container. It can be a CSS selector or an Element.

Make sure to provide a container (for example, a div), not an input. DocSearch generates a fully accessible search box for you.

import docsearch from '@docsearch/js';

import '@docsearch/css';

docsearch({
  container: '#docsearch',
  appId: 'YOUR_APP_ID',
  indexName: 'YOUR_INDEX_NAME',
  apiKey: 'YOUR_SEARCH_API_KEY',
});

yarn add @docsearch/react@3
# or
npm install @docsearch/react@3

      indexName="YOUR_INDEX_NAME"
