Node.js Document Search Extension

The Node.js documentation (https://nodejs.org/api/) does not have a search function, it is just a plain text page, unlike other documentation such as Vue.js (https://vuejs.org/), React (https://react.dev/) etc., which have integrated the Algolia search box, allowing you to quickly locate specific pages or methods based on keywords.
This plugin adds a search box to the Node.js documentation page, perfectly embedded in the page, as if it was originally there, providing instant search capabilities, aligning with the search experience of other documentation.
How to use:
1. After installing the plugin, open the Node.js documentation page, you will see a search button in the upper right corner of the page, click it or use the shortcut Ctrl+k (Cmd+k) to pop up the search box
2. Or click the plugin button, if the current tab is a document, it will pop up the search box, if not, it will open the document
