Backstage Search

A flexible, extensible search across your whole Backstage ecosystem.

Development is ongoing. You can follow the progress and contribute at the Backstage Search Project Board or reach out to us in the #search Discord channel.

Getting started

Run yarn dev in the root directory, and then navigate to /search to check out the plugin.

Areas of Responsibility

This search plugin is primarily responsible for the following:

  • Providing a <SearchPage /> routable extension.
  • Exposing various search-related components (like <SearchBar />, <SearchFilter />, etc), which can be composed by a Backstage App or by other Backstage Plugins to power search experiences of all kinds.
  • Exposing a <SearchContextProvider />, which manages search state and API communication with the Backstage backend.

Don't forget, a lot of functionality is available in backend plugins:

  • @backstage/plugin-search-backend-node, which is responsible for the search index management
  • @backstage/plugin-search-backend, which is responsible for query processing
