How to implement a custom search for subpages and ...

Hi everyone, I’m working on a page in Umbraco that has several subpages (not exactly a blog, just a main page with child pages). I’d like to set up a custom search feature on the main page that works as follows: Left Side: A navigation menu listing all subpages of the current page. Right Side: A search field where users can type a keyword. A dropdown labeled “Search in:” with two options: “Pages” or “Documents.” If the user chooses “Pages” and enters a keyword, the search should: Only look through the subpages of the current page (not the entire Umbraco site). Display the results below the search field. Each result should include: The page title. A short excerpt of the content where the keyword appears (ideally highlighted). A breadcrumb or some indication of where this page sits in the hierarchy. If the user chooses “Documents”, the search should: Look through PDF files (or other documents) associated with these subpages. Display similar information, ideally showing the name of the document and highlighting where the keyword is found. I already have the page and some subpages set up in Umbraco. Now I need to integrate this search module/component. Does anyone have tips, best practices, or a sample project to show how to implement such a search in Umbraco? Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
