Search: pre-indexing directories

[Topener]

Hi,

I've implemented the search plugin on the documentation page, it works finally (Thanks!), but now I noticed it doesn't index other sidebars before I visit them.

In the case of my page (https://sharp-lovelace-ddcd32.netlify.app/) I have a page under /module-development/', once I've visited this page and go back to home I can search within the content of that page, but not before.

Is there a way to pre-populate the search so it can immediately search in those directories?

For now I fixed it by just linking the sub-documents in the root sidebar, but want to know if there are options.

You are doing the right thing.

The index is generated for searching when first visited, instead of having to visit the page to search
