 Static output is written to `build/`.
 
+## Search
+
+The site uses [Algolia DocSearch](https://docsearch.algolia.com/). Search is
+enabled at build time when all three of these environment variables are set:
+
+- `ALGOLIA_APP_ID`
+- `ALGOLIA_SEARCH_API_KEY`
+- `ALGOLIA_INDEX_NAME`
+
+The API key must be Algolia's public, search-only key. Never use an Admin API
+key in the documentation site. Contextual search is enabled, so results are
+filtered to the language and documentation version currently being viewed.
+
+For local development, export the variables before starting the site:
+
+```bash
+export ALGOLIA_APP_ID="your-app-id"
+export ALGOLIA_SEARCH_API_KEY="your-search-only-api-key"
+export ALGOLIA_INDEX_NAME="your-index-name"
+npm start
+```
+
+For production, add the same names as GitHub repository **Actions variables**
+under **Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → Variables**. These values
+are embedded in the public client bundle and are not secrets. If none are set,
+the site builds without search; if only some are set, the build fails with a
+configuration error.
+
 ## Deploy to Cloudflare Pages
 
 Production deploys use **Direct Upload** (not Cloudflare Git integration).
