Fixed issue where Pagefind static files weren't accessible due to Next.js routing conflicts.
Solution:
- Created API route at app/pagefind/[...path]/route.ts to serve Pagefind files from .next/pagefind/
- Updated build script to copy pagefind index to public/_pagefind (backup)
- API route handles all /pagefind/* requests and serves files with proper content types
- Added caching headers for optimal performance
This resolves the "cannot type in search" issue - the search modal can now load Pagefind UI and index files correctly.
Technical Details:
- Next.js App Router was treating /pagefind/ as a route, returning 404
- Static files in public/ weren't accessible for subdirectories due to routing priority
- API route bypasses routing to serve .next/pagefind/* files directly
- Supports .js, .css, .json, .wasm, and Pagefind-specific file types
