Would be nice if there is a way to implement a search bar into this.

There are several ways of adding search to a Hugo site listed here: https://gohugo.io/tools/search/

We could build one into the theme directly (making it optional, of course), but having never tried it myself I'm not sure which option to choose. It would also significantly complicate the instructions by adding an external dependency and an extra step in the build process. My gut instinct is this isn't worth it, but I'm open to being convinced...

Some themes like Hextra seem to be able to do it (using Flexsearch) without additional instructions. I don't know how they do it though.

I honestly think its worth it as it would make finding material easier, both in blogs and documentation type sites.

Another example is the Paige theme
