Jekyll + indextank = static websites with fulltext search

Jekyll + indextank = static websites with fulltext search launched on May 11, 2011 with 6 votes, #77 of 217 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 15 years on.

What it does

For a while I have been wanting to write a Jekyll plugin to automatically index all pages on IndexTank . I was reminded to this by the introduction of Tapir and decided to finally go ahead and create the plugin. I'm about to graduate for my Software Engineering Bachelor and will be starting as a Ruby and IOS developer at Kabisa soon. I haven't done much Ruby work yet (I used to be more of a Python guy), so this was an excellent chance for me to practice my Ruby skills a bit. Jekyll_indextank is a Jekyll plugin that automatically indexes all your Jekyll sites' pages on IndexTank, except for those that you exclude (404 and index pages for example). For those not familiair with IndexTank, it's…from pwiddershoven.nl
