Search for sbt-typelevel-site

I discussed this once with @valencik. The rough idea would be to generate a search index with Apache Lucene and feed it into lunr.js. Or something ...

I think this is a really important feature for documents.
If there's no progress on this issue, could you please consider using DocSearch?

[armanbilge]

@kevin-lee thanks, I also think this is very important.

Sure, how would a DocSearch integration work? It seems to me that each project would need to apply independently?

[kevin-lee]

@armanbilge Yes, you're right. As far as I know, each project should have its own application separately. However, once application is submitted then it requires to reply to one confirmation email from DocSearch and that's it.

[armanbilge]

Cool! That sounds pretty straightforward :)

Does anyone want to experiment with adding DocSearch to a Laika site? So we can get an idea of what the integration is like?

[kevin-lee]

@armanbilge To clarify, it's an application per a doc site.
So for example,
For Cats,
DOCUMENTATION OR BLOG URL: https://typelevel.org/cats
REPOSITORY URL: https://github.com/typelevel/cats

Once connected, you can monitor it through https://www.algolia.com and you will also have access to its Crawler. So I recommend you use one email address to create a Algolia account if you want to monitor all TypeLevel doc sites. If each site has a different owner, you probably want to use the owner's email.

I also recommend reading this page.
