This guide will walk you through how to get started with Search UI, a JavaScript SDK for building great search experiences.
You’ll learn the basics by adding Search to a local coffee shop. Let’s get started with an example HTML file.
Copy and paste the following into an HTML file and view it in your browser, or use Codesandbox .
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge" />
<title>Search Test Experience</title>
