     Live search works even for multilingual sites.
 
     For Chinese-like languages, it may or may not work.
+
+__Search Scope__
+
+- Searching within a section will yield results from that section.
+
+    For example, if you have 2 `mainSections` 1/ vegetables 2/ fruits, searching in the fruits section will only produce results for that section.
+- Searching outside a section will search the entire site.
+
+     For example, with the above `mainSections` setup, searching from the homepage will produce results from both sections and other pages of the site.
+
+     Future implementations may include a github-like feature i.e `search all site`. This PR will leave that to a future PR
