`@playstack/search-minisearch` implements the same mapped search contract with fuzzy matching, prefix matching, suggestions, weighted fields, synonyms, arbitrary filters, and stable result ordering.

```ts
const search = createMiniSearchEngine(records, {
  document: mapSearchDocument,
  fields: { title: 10, tags: 6, body: 1 },
  fuzzy: { distance: 0.2, minTermLength: 4 },
  prefix: { enabled: true, lastTermOnly: true, minTermLength: 2 },
})
```

Only values placed in the mapped result can leave the index. The adapter snapshots input at construction and runs in both Node and Workers runtimes.

{/* package-install:start */}

## Install

After confirming [preview access](/docs/packages#access-policy), install the package at your application's shared Playstack version:

```sh
npm install --save-exact @playstack/search-minisearch@0.1.0-beta.1
```

Check the peer requirements below before choosing a runtime or provider.

{/* package-install:end */}

{/* package-reference:start */}

## API entry points and requirements

Reference snapshot: `@playstack/search-minisearch@0.1.0-beta.1`. Import only the entry point your runtime needs. Paths below are relative to the installed package; use **Go to Definition** in your editor to inspect exact parameters, return types and overloads. Do not import the declaration-file paths directly.

| Public entry point | Declaration file |
| --- | --- |
| `@playstack/search-minisearch` | `./dist/index.d.ts` |
| `@playstack/search-minisearch/package.json` | No TypeScript declaration (asset or metadata export). |

Node.js engine requirement: `>=20`. This is not a claim that every entry point works in browsers or Workers.

### Peer dependencies

Keep existing framework versions that satisfy these ranges. Install optional peers only when using the corresponding adapter. The package manager resolves ordinary dependencies separately.

| Peer | Compatible range | When needed |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `@playstack/search` | `0.1.0-beta.1` | Required by the package. |

For a complete first program, start with [Getting started](/docs/getting-started). For API lookup and partial-example conventions, see [Reading the reference](/docs/packages#reading-the-reference). Provider failures, lifecycle requirements and application responsibilities remain described in the guide above; types alone do not establish production safety.
