```bash
duckdb :memory: -c "INSTALL httpfs; INSTALL fts;"
```

If this fails, report the error and stop.

## Step 3 — Choose the data source and extract search terms

### Data source selection

There are two search indexes available:

| Index | Remote URL | Local cache filename | Versions | Use when |
|-------|-----------|---------------------|----------|----------|
| **DuckDB docs + blog** | `https://duckdb.org/data/docs-search.duckdb` | `duckdb-docs.duckdb` | `lts`, `current`, `blog` | Default — any DuckDB question |
| **DuckLake docs** | `https://ducklake.select/data/docs-search.duckdb` | `ducklake-docs.duckdb` | `stable`, `preview` | Query mentions DuckLake, catalogs, or DuckLake-specific features |

Both indexes share the same schema:

| Column | Type | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| `chunk_id` | `VARCHAR` (PK) | e.g. `stable/sql/functions/numeric#absx` |
| `page_title` | `VARCHAR` | Page title from front matter |
| `section` | `VARCHAR` | Section heading (null for page intros) |
| `breadcrumb` | `VARCHAR` | e.g. `SQL > Functions > Numeric` |
| `url` | `VARCHAR` | URL path with anchor |
