Docsearch integration issue

[TheDrone7]

Hello, I was using the docsearch plugin https://v2.vuepress.vuejs.org/reference/plugin/docsearch.html#usage

I registered my site and they shared with me the App ID and other details, and I added the following to my config.ts, the source can be viewed here (the docsearch branch)

plugins: [
    docsearchPlugin({
      appId: '<id>',
      apiKey: '<api-key>',
      indexName: '<index-name>'
    }),
  ],

(replacing all the placeholders) it neither seems to be registering the docsearch component nor does it add it to the navbar (I am using the default theme). There are no errors either. Is there an implementation issue?

You should provide a reproduce repo, or we could not help as the information is so limited.

We are using exact version dude 😅

Emm, shall we declare peerDeps and mark them optional? just like sass-loader.

The problem is that when users are using a plugin version different from core, he does not get any error hints.

Maybe we can do something to make a improvement here. A lot of my users will accidently install mutiple @vuepress/client and @vuepress/core in their repo.

Vue used to have these kind of problems, so vue is actually bundling some vue packages, so that @vue/xxx can be accessed and is recommanded to be accessed through vue/xxx, so I am actually thinking about things we can do.

Updating the versions seems to have added it to the site but when I tried searching for stuff, no results popped up. I checked the search logs on algolia dashboard and even though, its getting requests, there seems to be no query in the requests.

NVM that was a crawler config issue.
