 # distill (development version)
 
+-   Content in `<script>` and `<style>` are now considered not searchable and exclude from content in `search.json`. This should make the json file a lot lighter and loading faster as htmlwidget code (e.g plotly graph) would correctly be not included (thanks, \\\@mitchelloharawild, #425).
 -   Fix an issue with `search.json` that was still written even when `search: false` in set in config (thanks, \\\@mitchelloharawild, #425).
 -   Fix an issue prevent sizing of figures produced with **knitr** using `out.width` chunk option (thanks, \\\@ssp3nc3r, #286).
 -   Fix an issue with running `targets::tar_render()` with a distill Rmd document (thanks, \\\@tarensanders, #400)
