Have a search facility in the official terraform documentation

[saurabh-hirani]

The documentation at https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/index.html is great and precise but it should have search capability so that users can look up keywords in the official docs instead of routing their queries via google.

Maybe a community ran wiki to allow commenting and versioning would suffice better for the documentation?

I'd like to pick up on this one and see if I can get something working over the next couple of weeks or so.

Anything in particular I should look out for here? I'm thinking of implementing some kind of Spotlight-like search box, similar to Ctrl-P/Cmd-P in some text editors.

I've noted that we're already generating a sitemap.xml file—we can do something similar to that to generate an index of page titles that could be loaded in through JavaScript.

@jammycakes that seems to be a good idea.
