Request: add a search bar to every page #1184

It woul be great if there was a basic search bar through all the supported licenses. I prefer to view summaries of licenses on your website, so it's helpful to be able to jump to the page for a specific license.

Implementation options:

Bookmark https://choosealicense.com/appendix/ and c-f (or whatever triggers in-page search in your browser) is one way to jump to the page for any specific license on the site.

But that doesn't search license text or SPDX ID or any other nicknames, which your idea for a search bar could.

Any recommendation for a tiny open source client side search library to use?

Low priority for me to get to, but I'd welcome a prototype implementation in a pull request.
