Could u make it in Sandbox or ur site where it can be reproduced?
Due to the console err, it seems not clearly.

here is my website https://ares-x.com/wiki/ password: qaxniubi
open some page and wait a while , search will not working

Modify the search plugin to search.js. Don't use min so we can check for errors!

Change the path to English and try again. https://ares-x.com/wiki/_sidebar.md

Refer to docsify's sidebar document. https://docsify.js.org/_sidebar.md

According to the console information, I doubt that your files of ur site r too much to be stored in the LocalStorage as search.index. 😅
Could you remove the most of contents and hv a test again. Waiting for ur feedback.

maybe that's true , this problem doesn't happened on my mac , seem like only effect windows or mobile device?

i delete a lot of contents , then work fine on windows device , so is there any way to solve this problem?

see #1400 (comment)

You can convert the path to English to reduce the occupation.

i don't think is chinese path cause this error, i have tried many time on local server ,it doesn't have any problem
i already changed search-min.js to search.js it seems like working correct now

I'm just suggesting, otherwise your url would be long.

thanks for help

Is the issue still exsit?
I guess we need investigation more about it. Could u reset ur site to make the exception reproduciable? thx in advance.
IIRC,the localstorage size is relatived to the browser, I m not sure what makes the difference on different OS. r they the same browsers which u used on Win and Mac?
AFAIK, We havent a solution about it yet, actully, I guess we havnt thought about such a big content in docsify. 🤫

i used chrome on my mac and win , macos works fine ,but windows has this problem, and i also told my friend to try it ,use firefox and chrome on his windows device , he also have this problem

here is the old version to reproduce this bug
https://ares-x-github-io-41iddeg6s.vercel.app/wiki/ pass:qaxniubi
use chrome on windows open it , at the first time search won't have problem, click some page and wait a monment , open f12 console and try to search anything ,you will see those error i post before

after i changed search-min.js to search.js this problem seem doesn't exist

It seems weird. 😅

thx again, we will check it and make sure what happened actually.

cc @anikethsaha PTAL, I think there should have something needs be digged out.

yea....we need to have a look in it.

FYI. I increased the localstorage size 10 times larger and got the search.index size ( 5411729 bytes, more than 5M).

weird, from which version this is happening ?

IMHO, I think the problem since we set the search.index in local storage.
As we all know, the browsers have default local storage size (about 5 M), and we stored all the markdown files strings as search.index in local storage.
If the files strings r humongous (more than 5 M), we can't set it in the local storage and cause the search err aboved.

Maybe you can refer to this save all markdown file strings to a local xml file

    window.$docsify = {
      loadSidebar: true,
      ....
    }

when loadSidebar is true, the search work again, and just the content was indexed in side bar's reference.

If the content not in side bar‘s reference, they can't be searched.

So strange.

In my project, record it. https://anilople.github.io/find-spirit/#/

@Anilople You mean you can't search there?

This one? If so, then it's fixed.

@sy-records

Yes.

Let me give more example.

content can't be search

find

移动

content can be search

ele

world

fixed via #1391

fixed via #1391

My docsify version is 4.11.6

Found that there is no code describe like #1391
in my docsify/lib/plugins/search.js file. So the problem occur.

Yes, the official version has not been released yet. You can try to build it yourself.
