Q-5-38 — Unknown website.search Option

website.search has an option Quarto does not recognize. The option is ignored.

What this means

The website.search map accepts a fixed set of keys. A key outside that set is most often a typo, so Quarto reports it rather than silently dropping it, then renders with the key ignored.

# _quarto.yml
website:
  search:
    locaton: sidebar      # Q-5-38: did you mean `location`?

The known options are location, type, limit, collapse-after, copy-button, keyboard-shortcut, show-item-context, merge-navbar-crumbs, federate, and algolia. Inside a federate entry, the known keys are url, title, weight, and bundle.

How to fix it

Correct the spelling, or remove the key. See the website search documentation for what each option does.
