StaticSearch v0.8.1 was released on July 13, 2026. There should be no breaking changes since the changes are minor:

• The ::part(activate) search activation element inherits color by default.
• The StaticSearch version is shown in “powered by” footer.
• package.json defines the minimum Node.js engine (>= 22).
• All modules were updated. The latest esbuild creates a smaller CSS and JavaScript bundles.
• Small bug fixes.

Mobile virtual keyboards #

I recommend you add interactive-widget=resizes-content to your HTML viewport meta tags, e.g.

HTML

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,interactive-widget=resizes-content">

This resizes the viewport when the keyboard appears. The StaticSearch <dialog> height changes accordingly and it becomes easier to scroll through results.

Refer to mobile virtual keyboards for more information.
