Feature request: add search
Feature request: a search option, to allow searching in content (and menu?)
Maybe a start can be given so that we can help/commit?
I would suggest, for now, to use a third party provider, such as:
- Google Custom Search Engine --> This was the way to go for a long time, but now adds advertising to searches and you can not pay for that to be removed. A nice addition anyway if you don't mind about ads.
- Algolia --> Powerful search, free for Open Source projects
- Algolia Docs --> Specific for documentation sites. Free for public documentation
- Cloudsh --> Really easy to setup and use. Free for 300 documents.
- Sitesearch 360 --> Free for small sites (150 pages)
- Freefind --> Despite it's name, the really free version allows only 65MB of searched pages and adds some advertising

In fact what I'm planning is a generic search service, not only for MIIS, so I need to write a crawler that takes into account a lot of things. Normally you would use MIIS with other systems at the same time (such as e-commerce products or similar) so simply indexing the .md files is not enough. However Lunr is very easy to use and build your own index for the .md files, directly in disk, would be easier. You'll keep the .json file in disk with the JSON needed for Lunr to work.
Any updates regarding search in MIIS? (e.g. Lunr)?
No, I didn't have the time to anything. This specific feature is not on my top list either since there are many alternatives to achieve the same thing. I plan to devote time to MIIS in December. Let's see if I finally can :-S
