Hi @fedy97, do you have this issue with your own Backstage instance? If so can you please include details?

The demo site though handy isn't always the best to use as the source for dealing with bugs. In this case TechDocs search indexing has been disabled due to an odd OOM error we have as we are using the Lunr in memory search engine which we don't generally recommend for production deployments.

If I uncomment this line and add the related package: https://github.com/backstage/demo/blob/b4d9b44c8cfb8ee5b517a23b91d0de7db12a1b3f/packages/backend/src/index.ts#L31. The search works:
