 Indexing your first site
========================

On this page, you'll learn how to create an index, populate it by crawling your site, and retrieving results. Let's do this!

First, you can run this command to define a site that needs to be indexed.

```
php artisan site-search:create-index
```

This command will ask for a name for your index, and the URL of your site that should be crawled.

After that you should run this command to start a queued job that crawls your site, and puts the content in a search index:

```
php artisan site-search:crawl
```

Finally, you can use the `Search` class to perform a query on your index.

```
use Spatie\SiteSearch\Search;

$searchResults = Search::onIndex($indexName)
    ->query('your query')
    ->get();
```

This is how you could render the results in a Blade view

```

    @foreach($searchResults->hits as $hit)

                {{ $hit->url }}
                {{ $hit->title() }}
                {!! $hit->highlightedSnippet() !!}

    @endforeach

```
