# plugin-search
This plugin is the interface used by all the search plugins (`plugin-lunr`, `plugin-algolia`, etc.)
## Registering a Search handler
Your plugin must register as a Search handler during its `activate` method:
``` js
GitBook.createPlugin({
activate: (dispatch, getState, { Search }) => {
dispatch(Search.registerHandler('my-plugin-name', searchHandler));
},
reduce
})
/**
* Search against a query
* @param {String} query
* @return {Promise<List<Result>>}
*/
function searchHandler(query, dispatch, getState) {
...
}
```
Your search handler must return a List of result-shaped objects. A result object has the following shape:
``` js
result = {
title: string, // The title of the resource, as displayed in the list of results.
url: string, // The URL to access the matched resource.
body: string // (optional) The context of the matched text (can be a sentence
// containing matching words). It will be displayed near the result.
}
```
