Huge Search Index

Whenever I type anything on search, the whole search index file of 11 MB is downloaded locally, before it can search.

Can we have incremental search suggestions like first level index can only be direct page names, next level can be title or headers, and then the content.

This can be configurable too

This is known as the biggest caveat of using front-end based search. Generally we have to download all the search index files to accomplish the search work.

Your suggested approach may have some improvement on user experience, but there is a high chance that it has to download all index files.

The proper solution may be using node.js to do the search job on the sever side, instead.
