 whatever. The js is already included in the pagefind distribution, so
it is a simple

#+HTML_HEAD: <script src="./pagefind/pagefind-ui.js"></script>

in the org file and the searchbar html in the preamble (or wherever).

 sure it works. I just question the raison d'etre, when single page
search is already integrated into webbrowsers. But as always there
will be people arguing that it is necessary to have a search bar with
pop up results integrated into the page and of course there is nothing
wrong with that. I use pagefind myself, but the site I'm working on
(built with the multipage exporter BTW) currently contains more than
400 files where the browser search can't help.
