In this case, the files will be searched in "./rcd/static/static/..." instead of "./rdc/static/...", because the file server has no knowledge of the pattern used to match the URL, it only knows the URL itself. So in this particular case using router.get("/static/*", serveStaticFiles("./rcd/")); should work, or, as a more general alternative, the URL prefix can be stripped by specifying a settings object:

auto settings = new HTTPFileServerSettings;
settings.serverPathPrefix = "/static/";
router.get("/static/*", serveStaticFiles("./rcd/static/", settings));

Furthermore a search function for the docs would be really helpful, I
hate it when I have to grep through the source to find what I need, this
is normally happens only if the docs are bad, but I wouldn't say the
vibe docs are bad (but no comparison e.g. to flask).

A search function/symbol index is planned, I'm just not sure when I'll actually manage to implement it. Another planned feature is to automatically embed hyperlinks in example code sections, which should also help a lot when trying to understand the examples in detail.

General improvement of the documentation is also always a topic, but of course this takes a lot of effort and time is currently a sparse resource for me with functionality taking precedence... so this will probably be more of a (slow) gradual process.
