Pagefind is only indexing pages of type "docs"

[msampaio]

Hi,
I am using HugoBlox with Pagefind to add search functionality to my website. However, I’ve noticed that Pagefind is only indexing pages of type "docs". No other types of pages are being indexed, which limits the search functionality on the site.

Hi.

Have you tested the search in the demo at https://academic-demo.netlify.app ? In the demo, you can see that all content is indexed and searchable. When deploying to GitHub Pages, Pagefind auto-indexes all content (except content flagged not to index).

So, without having any context on your site, it appears you may either (a) be excluding content from indexing, (b) using an old version, or (c) not running Pagefind to build the index on your new content (see https://docs.hugoblox.com/guides/search/#_top ).

Hope that helps.

Hi, @gcushen

Thank you for the response.

I installed Hugoblox locally using the following commands:

npx create-hugoblox --template academic-cv
cd academic-cv
npx pnpm install
npx pnpm dev

Then, I ran:

hugo && npx pagefind --site "public" --output-subdir ../static/pagefind && hugo serve

I accessed the site in the browser and searched for words like "Johnson" and "Lorem ipsum," but the search didn’t return any results. Only content from the "Courses" section (e.g., shortcode, learn, etc.) showed up.

Versions:

• node: v24.12.0
• npx: 11.6.2
• Hugo: hugo v0.153.2-798533a2013eab97198b0a155a8f4afab7e79865+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=2025-12-22T16:53:01Z VendorInfo=gohugoio

Thanks for reporting this and providing the context.

I've investigated and identified the bugs, which should now be fixed by d95cd5f
