- Replace pagefind-searchbox with pagefind-input to remove the dropdown autocomplete (results only show in the page body) - Add data-pagefind-body to main content area in Layout so Pagefind only indexes page content, not header/nav/footer - Add data-pagefind-ignore to Header to prevent the site title being used as the result title for every page - Result titles now correctly show the blog post title

Two issues with the Pagefind search:
Duplicate results
<pagefind-searchbox>includes a dropdown with autocomplete results, and<pagefind-results>shows results on the page — creating duplicates. Replaced<pagefind-searchbox>with<pagefind-input>(just the text input, no dropdown).Wrong result titles
Every result showed "adrift on a cosmic ocean" (the site title from the Header
<h1>) instead of the blog post title. Fixed by:data-pagefind-bodyto the main content area in Layout — Pagefind now only indexes content within this elementdata-pagefind-ignoreto the Header — the site title<h1>is excluded from indexingResult titles now correctly show the page's own
<h1>(the blog post title).
