What is the most popular Hugo search tool?

I asked ChatGPT “What is the most popular Hugo search tool?” and the answer given was Lunr.js

Here’s the full response:

The most popular search tool for Hugo websites is Lunr.js. It’s a powerful, client-side search engine that is often used with Hugo because of its flexibility, ease of integration, and performance. Lunr.js is a JavaScript-based search library that allows you to implement fast, full-text search capabilities directly in the browser without needing a backend server.

Can I get some feedback?

I asked ChatGPT for suggestions on how to implement comments on a Hugo static website hosted on GitHub Pages. This led me to implementing Utterances. Can I get some feedback? Let’s hope so!

      <div id="comments">
        <h2>Comments</h2>
        <script src="https://utteranc.es/client.js"
                repo="spr12ian/spr12ian.github.io"
                issue-term="pathname"
                theme="preferred-color-scheme"
                crossorigin="anonymous"
                async>
        </script>
      </div>

I upgraded my Github Actions workflow to use the latest version of Hugo

I’ve upgraded my ChromeOS Flex laptop to Debian 12 (bookworm).

Why haven’t I posted for a while?

I was working on a GAS project that went very adrift, which then resulted in me getting a bit down. I went into zombie mode wasting a lot of time on pointless computer games.

On the plus side, I think I have an idea for a project that may work.

I lost a crown today.

Upgraded to VirtualBox 7.0.10 with the corresponding extension pack.

I modified my update-linux script to try to not override the snap version of VS Code on chromeOS

Added command blog to my bin repo

Added command add-bin-command to my bin repo
