yarn add @docsearch/js@3
# or
npm install @docsearch/js@3If 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.
