We took a similar approach for our documentation search. [0]

You can see the "inverted index" is rendered inline in the page, since everything is generated at build time.

When you type something that matches a key in the index, we fetch that index key and add it to the results. [1] [2]

Obviously we could do a lot better in terms of relevancy, but it's simple and fast.
