+IkiWiki::Plugin::jssearchfield - Create a search form to search page field data.
+
+This plugin provides the [[ikiwiki/directive/jssearchfield]] directive. This
+enables one to search the structured data ("field" values) of multiple pages.
+This uses Javascript for the searching, which means that the entire thing
+is self-contained and does not require a server or CGI access, unlike
+the default IkiWiki search. This means that it can be used in places such
+as ebook readers. The disadvantage is that because Javascript runs
+in the browser, the searching is only as fast as the machine your browser
+is running on.
+
+Because this uses Javascript, the htmlscrubber must be turned off for any page where the directive is used.
+
+This plugin depends on the [[!iki plugins/contrib/field]] plugin.
+
+## Activate the plugin
+
+ # activate the plugin
+ add_plugins => [qw{goodstuff field jssearchfield ....}],
