Local version works great, deployed version doesn't work

[NickHodges]

Hey, if I run my site locally using serve, search works great.

But when I deploy to Vercel -- everything builds and deploys fine. But the search doesn't work.

You can see it in action here: https://nickhodges.com selecting the magnifying glass in the upper right.

What might be the reason?

Hmm, can you share any build logs from your Vercel build? Looks like the /pagefind/ directory files are 404ing on the live site, so Pagefind might not be running successfully during the Vercel build.

Ahh! That was helpful!

So I looked closely at the build logs, and I saw this:

09:57:13 [build] directory: /vercel/path0/.vercel/output/static/

so I set my postbuild to this:

"postbuild": "pagefind --site .vercel/output/static/"

and now it works!

Thank you for your help. I'm grateful to you. All the way from New Zealand! Kia Ora!
