# zicula-site-search-kit — free sample

Three real files from the full kit (18 files), each **trimmed to taste** —
enough to judge the quality, not enough to launch your search:

- `deploy-runbook-SAMPLE.md` — the opening of `deploy-runbook.md`, complete
  up to step 2: the "what you are deploying" table, the host comparison with
  real September 2026 prices (including the $0-forever Oracle option), and
  the Docker install. The sample stops right before the part that turns the
  server on — §3–§10 (keys, indexing, widget embed, cron, backups,
  troubleshooting, security) are listed at the end so you know what the full
  runbook adds.
- `cost-math-SAMPLE.md` — the two tables you asked for: every competitor
  price (Algolia, Doofinder, Boost, Searchanise, Fast Simon, Meilisearch
  Cloud) pulled from official pricing pages on 2026-09-19, plus the 3-year
  total-cost table for a typical small shop, with sources. The full file
  adds the item-by-item kit bill and the honest "what subscriptions include
  that this kit does not" section.
- `merchandising-guide-SAMPLE.md` — §1 and §2 of `merchandising-guide.md`:
  the 60-second ranking explainer and the custom-ranking recipes (boost
  bestsellers/promos without breaking relevance). The full guide continues
  with facets, per-language typo tuning, the EN/DE/FR/ES synonym clusters,
  stopwords, zero-result hunting from access logs, and key rotation.

Plain markdown — open in any editor, or drag into Obsidian/Notion.

What the full kit adds (the other 15 files):

- Deploy: `docker-compose.yml` (Meilisearch v1.13 + Caddy, production defaults) and the `Caddyfile` that gets you automatic HTTPS and blocks the admin surface.
- The indexer: `indexer/indexer.py` — CSV/JSON feed → Meilisearch, stdlib only, field names mapped automatically; `indexer/selftest.py` — 25 offline tests; `indexer/sync.sh` — the cron wrapper; `indexer/sample-products.csv` — the demo feed for the end-to-end drill.
- The storefront: `site-search-widget.js` — one dependency-free file, instant results as shoppers type, keyboard navigation, EN/DE/FR/ES labels.
- The rest: the full 10-section deploy runbook, the full merchandising guide, `MANIFEST.md` (file map + every customization point), `README-buyer.md` (quickstart where every step has a "Success looks like" check), `screenshots/` (renders of the real files, so you can see before you open) and the plain-language commercial license.
