Fix Pagefind search UI not rendering - #265
Merged

Conversation
The dynamic import approach for pagefind-ui.js doesn't work reliably with Gatsby's webpack bundling. Switch to loading pagefind-component-ui.js via a script tag and using the <pagefind-searchbox> and <pagefind-results> web components instead.

The search page from #264 doesn't render a search box because the dynamic
import('/pagefind/pagefind-ui.js')is intercepted by webpack and fails silently.This switches to the recommended Pagefind web component approach:
pagefind-component-ui.jsvia a<script>tag (bypasses webpack entirely)<pagefind-searchbox>and<pagefind-results>web components
