Smart Indexing

YetiSearch Pro features Smart Indexing with fingerprint-based change detection. When you update content, only the changed portions are re-indexed - not the entire site. Combined with chunked indexing that splits pages into smaller segments, you get precise search results that link directly to the relevant section. This makes indexing fast and keeps your search results highly relevant.

Two Beautiful Modal Designs

Choose between two search modal designs based on your needs. Full Modal provides a two-panel design with results on the left and a live preview on the right, including pagination, filter controls, breadcrumbs, and On This Page sections - perfect for documentation sites. Simple Modal offers a lightweight typeahead design with grouped results, clean and fast, ideal for blogs and general websites.

Powerful CLI

Full command-line interface for development, testing, and automation. Index your entire site or specific languages with progress bars. Query with filters, sorting, fuzzy search, and pagination. Flush and rebuild indexes as needed. Supports JSON output for scripting and CI/CD integration.

Zero External Dependencies

Unlike cloud-based search solutions that require API keys and recurring costs, YetiSearch Pro runs entirely on your server. Your search index is stored locally, queries never leave your infrastructure, and there are no usage limits or API calls to worry about. Perfect for sites with privacy requirements or those wanting to avoid third-party dependencies.

Theme Integration

Works seamlessly with any Grav theme. Simply include the provided Twig partials - modal.html.twig auto-selects the configured modal type, and search-trigger.html.twig provides a ready-to-use search button with keyboard hint. Add data-ys-open to any element to make it trigger the search modal. Full CSS variable support lets you match your site's design in minutes.

Multi-Language & Versioning

Built for complex documentation sites, YetiSearch Pro supports per-language indexes (separate database per language/version) or single-index strategy (one database with language-aware queries). Configure different indexes for different content types and let users search within their selected language or version.
