How To solve RollUpError when using queryCollectionSearchSections server side?

[sayanichopra]

ERROR RollupError: server/api/search.json.get.ts (2:9): "queryCollectionSearchSectionsWithEvent" is not exported by "node_modules/@nuxt/content/dist/runtime/nitro.js", imported by "server/api/search.json.get.ts".

This usually happens when code imports an internal helper name from Nuxt Content's built output. queryCollectionSearchSectionsWithEvent is not part of the public runtime export there.

Use the public helper that Nuxt auto-imports instead:

// server/api/search.json.get.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  return await queryCollectionSearchSections(event, 'content')
})

or, if auto-imports are not available in that file, import from Nuxt's generated imports rather than from @nuxt/content/dist/runtime/nitro.js:

import { queryCollectionSearchSections } from '#imports'

I would avoid importing anything from @nuxt/content/dist/... directly. Those paths are internal implementation details and can expose names that changed during build/runtime refactors.
