About

Algolia DocSearch is a free search service designed for developer documentation websites.

It crawls documentation, pushes content to an Algolia index, and provides a search UI widget.

jQuery is a fast, small, feature-rich JavaScript library designed to simplify HTML DOM tree traversal and manipulation, event handling, CSS animations, and Ajax.

It provides a cross-browser selector engine, formerly known as Sizzle, supports deferred and promise objects for asynchronous workflows, has built-in JSON parsing and utility functions, and allows extensibility through a large ecosystem of plugins.
