Bible Starlight — Search Scalability Test

Section titled “Bible Starlight — Search Scalability Test”

This site contains the full King James Version (KJV) Bible as 1,189 individual chapter documents — one markdown file per chapter across all 66 books — for testing the scalability of Starlight’s built-in Pagefind search.

  • Pagefind index size: How does the search index perform with ~1,189 documents?
  • Search latency: Query response time across a large corpus
  • Build performance: Static site generation at scale
  • Sidebar rendering: Navigation with hundreds of nested entries
  • Old Testament — 39 books, 929 chapters
  • New Testament — 27 books, 260 chapters

Each chapter is a separate .md file with YAML frontmatter and verse-by-verse text using bold verse numbering for inline search relevance.

Use the search bar (top of page or Ctrl+K / Cmd+K) to query across all 1,189 chapters. Try terms like “begotten”, “wilderness”, “faith”, or “chariot” to test recall and relevance.
