Creating this PR to look back on in future if needed.

This PR was a test of pagefind for the site content.
System worked really nicely, but it's a little too early, library needs to mature a little:

Used "modular" UI version which was experimental at time of writing, not in official docs.
Could not see easy way to limit results provided.
Could not see easy way to limit the length of except for result.
Search would not match against titles from my testing.
Search would not be weighted for headers or treat them hierarchical.

Gonna leave it to bake for a while longer, most of my issues were already open or set to address.
