Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The Pagefind index is currently only generated during a full site build (e.g., markbind build). During markbind serve:
- No Index Updates: When pages are modified during development, the search index is not updated.
- Requires Full Restart: Users must either restart the server (markbind serve) or run a full rebuild to refresh the search index.
- Stale Search Results: Developers editing content see stale search results until they restart the development server.
As such, using the pagefind feature when updating a site's content can takes a notable more amount of time as they have to rebuild the site each time in order to check if their update page has been indexed correctly.
Describe the solution you'd like
Implement incremental Pagefind indexing that integrates with the existing hot-reload mechanism in markbind serve.
The solution should:
- Add incremental index updates: When a page is modified/added, update only that page's entry in the index rather than rebuilding the entire index.
- Remove stale entries: When a page is deleted, remove its entry from the index.
