+# Typesense Search Integration
+
+This document describes the integration of Typesense search engine as a replacement for Algolia DocSearch in the EssentialCSharp.Web application.
+
+## Overview
+
+Typesense is an open-source, fast search engine that provides:
+- **Full-text search** with typo tolerance
+- **Faceted search** capabilities  
+- **Real-time indexing** of content
+- **Self-hosted solution** - no external dependencies
+- **Fast search responses** with sub-50ms latency
+
+## Architecture
+
+The integration consists of several components:
+
+### Backend Services
+
+1. **TypesenseSearchService** (`Services/TypesenseSearchService.cs`)
+   - HTTP client-based implementation for Typesense API
+   - Handles collection creation, document indexing, and search operations
+   - Uses configuration from `TypesenseOptions`
+
+2. **ContentIndexingService** (`Services/ContentIndexingService.cs`)
+   - Extracts content from HTML files based on site mappings
+   - Processes and cleans text content for indexing
+   - Bulk indexes all site content
+
+3. **SearchIndexingHostedService** (`Services/SearchIndexingHostedService.cs`)
+   - Background service that automatically indexes content on application startup
+   - Waits for Typesense to be healthy before indexing
+
+4. **SearchController** (`Controllers/SearchController.cs`)
+   - REST API endpoints for search operations
+   - Rate-limited to prevent abuse
+   - Supports both GET and POST search methods
+
+### Frontend Components
+
+1. **TypesenseSearch JavaScript Module** (`wwwroot/js/typesenseSearch.js`)
+   - Modern ES6 module for search functionality
+   - Modal-based search interface
+   - Debounced search with keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+K)
+   - Real-time search results with highlighting
+
+2. **Search Styles** (`wwwroot/css/typesense-search.css`)
+   - Responsive modal design
+   - Dark mode support
+   - Loading states and error handling
+
+### Docker Configuration
+
+The `docker-compose.yml` includes:
+- **Typesense service** running on port 8108
+- **PostgreSQL** for existing vector database functionality
+- **Main web application** with environment variables for Typesense connection
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Application Settings
+
+Add to `appsettings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "TypesenseOptions": {
+    "Host": "localhost",
+    "Port": 8108,
+    "Protocol": "http",
+    "ApiKey": "your-api-key-here",
+    "TimeoutSeconds": 30
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Environment Variables (Docker)
+
+- `TYPESENSE_API_KEY`: API key for Typesense authentication
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+Search endpoints are rate-limited:
+- **50 requests per minute** for search operations
+- Uses partition-based limiting (by user or IP)
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### Search Content
+```
+GET /api/search?q={query}&page={page}&perPage={perPage}
+POST /api/search
+```
+
+### Health Check
+```
+GET /api/search/health
+```
+
+## Data Model
+
+### Search Document Structure
+```json
+{
+  "id": "unique-identifier",
+  "title": "Page title",
+  "content": "Extracted text content",
+  "url": "/page-url#anchor",
+  "chapter": "Chapter 1: Introduction",
+  "section": "Section title",
+  "tags": ["chapter-1"],
+  "created_at": 1640995200
+}
+```
+
+### Typesense Collection Schema
+- **id**: string (primary key)
+- **title**: string (searchable)
+- **content**: string (searchable) 
+- **url**: string
+- **chapter**: string (faceted)
+- **section**: string (faceted)
+- **tags**: string array (faceted)
+- **created_at**: int64 (sorting field)
+
+## Deployment with Docker Compose
+
+1. **Start the services**:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose up -d
+   ```
+
+2. **Set environment variables**:
+   ```bash
+   export TYPESENSE_API_KEY="your-secure-api-key"
+   ```
+
+3. **Verify Typesense health**:
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:8108/health
+   ```
+
+4. **Check search functionality**:
+   ```bash
+   curl "http://localhost:8080/api/search?q=variables"
+   ```
+
+## Container App Deployment (Azure)
+
+For Azure Container Apps deployment:
+
+1. **Create Typesense container**:
+   ```bash
+   az containerapp create \
+     --name typesense-search \
+     --resource-group myResourceGroup \
+     --environment myEnvironment \
+     --image typesense/typesense:0.25.2 \
+     --target-port 8108 \
+     --env-vars API_KEY=secretref:typesense-api-key \
+     --secrets typesense-api-key=your-secure-key
+   ```
+
+2. **Update main app configuration**:
+   ```bash
+   az containerapp update \
+     --name essentialcsharp-web \
+     --set-env-vars TypesenseOptions__Host=typesense-search \
+                    TypesenseOptions__ApiKey=secretref:typesense-api-key
+   ```
+
+## Features
+
+### Search Capabilities
+- **Full-text search** across title and content
+- **Chapter and section filtering**
+- **Typo tolerance** (up to 2 character differences)
+- **Phrase matching** and partial word matching
+- **Faceted search** by chapter and tags
+
+### User Interface
+- **Modal search interface** with keyboard shortcuts
+- **Real-time search** with debounced input
+- **Search result highlighting** 
+- **Responsive design** for mobile and desktop
+- **Loading states** and error handling
+
+### Content Processing
+- **HTML content extraction** from site mapping files
+- **Text cleaning** and normalization
+- **Automatic indexing** on application startup
+- **Incremental updates** support
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **Search latency**: Typically under 50ms for most queries
+- **Index size**: Automatically managed by Typesense
+- **Memory usage**: Typesense uses in-memory indexing for fast searches
+- **Rate limiting**: Prevents search abuse and ensures fair usage
+
+## Monitoring and Health Checks
+
+- Built-in health check endpoint: `/api/search/health`
+- Typesense health endpoint: `http://typesense:8108/health`
+- Structured logging for search operations and errors
+- Application Insights integration for telemetry
+
+## Migration from Algolia
+
+The integration replaces Algolia DocSearch:
+- ✅ **Self-hosted**: No external service dependencies
+- ✅ **Cost-effective**: No usage-based pricing
+- ✅ **Full control**: Complete control over search ranking and indexing
+- ✅ **Privacy**: All data stays within your infrastructure
+- ✅ **Customizable**: Easy to modify search behavior and UI
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Typesense connection failed**:
+   - Check if Typesense container is running
+   - Verify network connectivity between containers
+   - Ensure API key is correct
+
+2. **Search returns no results**:
+   - Check if content indexing completed successfully
+   - Verify collection exists: `curl http://typesense:8108/collections`
+   - Check application logs for indexing errors
+
+3. **Slow search performance**:
+   - Monitor Typesense memory usage
+   - Consider increasing container resources
+   - Check network latency between services
+
+### Logging
+
+Search operations are logged with structured data:
+- Search queries and response times
+- Indexing operations and document counts
+- Error conditions and health check results
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements:
+- **Autocomplete suggestions** based on popular searches
+- **Search analytics** and query optimization
+- **Advanced filters** for content types and difficulty levels
+- **Personalized search** based on user preferences
+- **Multi-language support** for internationalization
