Reef - Search that ships in a <script> tag
by•
Most static-site search tools index a sitemap. Reef indexes live DOM content — headings, buttons, form fields, files, media, structured data — straight off the page. And because it's reading the actual DOM, it doubles as an extraction/action layer: a lightweight way for AI agents to actually act on a website, not just search it.

I'm a student developer, and I hope other JS developers find this project useful! I am looking for feedback, and ways to build this project into something more robust, and mainstream. Thank you for visiting this page!
Sitemap-based search always felt like a hack — Reef just reading the DOM directly makes so much more sense, especially the angle of letting agents actually click buttons and fill forms. Tried it on a docs site and it picked up form fields I forgot were even there.
@cihanerany22p Yep! That's what I was going for -- plus it indexes across all linked pages so as long as you have one entry point for the script, it should pick up all elements across pages. Thanks for trying it out!
