About Shadcn Search

Last updated: 02/07/2026

Learn about Shadcn Search, a fast, semantic, search engine dedicated to compiling the custom Shadcn UI component registry ecosystem.

Our Mission

Shadcn Search was created to solve a growing challenge in the modern web development ecosystem: discovery. With the rise of custom component registries built on top of Shadcn UI, high-quality, reusable UI elements are scattered across dozens of individual developer websites and repositories.

Our mission is to index, organize, and unify these custom registries into a single, lightning-fast semantic search engine. We make it effortless for developers to find, preview, and bookmark the exact UI components they need to build premium, modern web applications.

Core Features

We provide a suite of developer-focused tools built to elevate your Shadcn UI workflow:

Semantic Vector Search

Search with natural language. Our search engine uses vector databases and embeddings to look past simple text matches and find components matching your conceptual intent.

Interactive Sandbox & Preview

Inspect component files and play with interactive previews inside our code editor without ever leaving the page.

Unified Bookmarks

Save both entire component registries and individual items into unified collections for instant retrieval across browser reloads or multiple devices.

Suggest a Registry

We are constantly looking to expand our component search database. If you have created a custom Shadcn UI component registry, or know of one that is missing from our index, please reach out to us.

We crawl, parse, and index new custom registries regularly to make sure developers can search, view, and implement the latest community components.
