## Configure Lunr.js Search Client
Select Lunr.js as the search client in your `config.toml` file:
```toml
[params.search]
client = "lunr"
```
## Generate Search Index for Lunr.js
Lunr.js will need a search index for searching across your site. So, you'll need to generate that search index for Lunr.js before you deploy your site.
Minimo comes with a script for generating the search index for Lunr.js: `/scripts/generate-search-index-lunr.js`.
### Install Dependencies
Node.js must be installed on your system for using the generator script.
It also need the following npm packages:
- `glob`
- `lunr`
For installing `lunr` and `glob` globally use the following command:
```sh
npm install -g lunr glob
```
### Run the Script
After you've generated your site with Hugo, run `generate-search-index-lunr.js` with `node`.
If Minimo is installed under `/themes/minimo` directory, you'll run it as:
```sh
node ./themes/minimo/scripts/generate-search-index-lunr.js
```
The `generate-search-index-lunr.js` script accepts an optional argument for Hugo's `publishDir` (_relative to your site's root directory_).
So, if you've got a different `publishDir` (say `site`), pass it as the first argument:
```sh
node ./themes/minimo/scripts/generate-search-index-lunr.js site
```
If the generation was successful, you'll see output like this:
```sh
Lunr.js Index Generated for: /search/index.json
```
That's all. Now you can deploy your site.
