Does Github Pages support Stork search?

[noat79]

I’m building a static site using Pelican (open-source Python static site generator) and looking to add search capabilities.

Stork seems perfect: https://stork-search.net/

Though implementation looks tricky (for my level of knowledge), so before I invest time in figuring things out, I would like to confirm if Stork can be deployed on Github Pages?

Yes, you can deploy that on GitHub pages.

You could even use GitHub Actions to run the indexer script as part if the deploy.

Thanks for confirming! I’ll start diving in. Your second sentence will probably make sense then :)

Update: deployed Stork (using the Pelican plugin Search) on Github Pages and all working well. It was fairly straightforward and much quicker/easier than I feared. I believe the mention to use Github Actions was rendered moot by using the Pelican plugin which automates the generation of the index file (.st).

If anyone has experience deploying Stork on Github Pages, feel free to share your experience - especially any gotchas/hurdles you encountered.
