Lunr Search stuck on "Loading..." on front end

Anyone have a similar issue? Or know where to go to fix it?

I will not work in dev mode.. you have to build and run it it any http server to check it

I am adding this comment because I gave some time to fix this in a mono repo setup where you want a build folder to handle multiple applications.

For somebody using this in a mono repo, moving the build files elsewhere and utilizing another forward proxy to serve it.

1. First, you must be able to serve the build files from the newly changed directory in your forward proxy.
2. Then you need to fix CSP headers in your forward proxy so that the inline javascript is not blocked and you should be good to go.

Meet same issue.
Fixed by the hint from praveen77.

1. Have to use 'npm run build' to create the search index file. And the file is generated into the ./build folder. (I guess this file only is created when you use 'npm run build')
2. You have to use a http server to serve the ./build to your browser.
   I used node package 'http-server'. https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server
   In stall it by command "npm install --save-dev http-server"
   And add this line in your project file package.json.
   "scripts": {
   "start-server": "http-server -p 8080 -a 127.0.0.1 ./build "
   }
3. use command 'npm run start-server', then you can brow your document in 127.0.0.1:8080 and search bar works perfectly.
4. Don't forget run 'npm run build' after you update your doc.

Even after deploying to Azure Static Web Apps it stays on Loading in the search bar. Here's what my build has:

docusaurus-lunr-search:: Building search docs and lunr index file
docusaurus-lunr-search:: Start scanning documents in 2 threads
docusaurus-lunr-search:: Indexing time: 20.510s
docusaurus-lunr-search:: indexed 0 documents out of 1004
docusaurus-lunr-search:: writing search-doc.json
docusaurus-lunr-search:: writing search-doc-1745351388608.json
docusaurus-lunr-search:: writing lunr-index.json
docusaurus-lunr-search:: writing lunr-index-1745351388608.json
docusaurus-lunr-search:: End of process

I notice that it didn't index anything - wondering why that is?

My lunr-index-*.json file has:

{"version":"2.3.9","fields":["title","content","keywords"],"fieldVectors":[],"invertedIndex":[],"pipeline":["stemmer"]}

and my lunr-index.json file has:

{"version":"2.3.9","fields":["title","content","keywords"],"fieldVectors":[],"invertedIndex":[],"pipeline":["stemmer"]}

@jerdog
I had this same issue (Lunr search not working on Azure Static Web App deployment). In my case, I traced it to an SSO wrapper in /src/theme/Root.js. Did you ever resolve it?
