[Feature Request] META Search-Functionality - sync with docs site.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

A recent change was pushed to the docs site giving access to a search page.

This search page looks great. They also provided functionality to filter results

The search functionality in opensearch.org website was integrated on the top right corner of the opensearch.org website page. The results were shown in a dropdown menu which is difficult for user to browse and navigate to the intended searched page. We plan to add a results landing page that is a individual webpage that shows the search results clearly and give user more options to filter out search results.

Search landing page issue: https://github.com/opensearch-project/project-website-search/issues/65

They plan to be able to filter the search results by Blog and Events https://github.com/opensearch-project/project-website-search/issues/66

Docs issue for the new search page https://github.com/opensearch-project/documentation-website/pull/7942

Feature Request

The docs site pushed changes to the search.js file and a SCSS file controlling styles for the search, we should look through and potentially sync our files with theirs.

  • I dont think we should implement our own search.md landing page, however we could if we wanted to only filter results on the OpenSearch.org page. This could allow the docs page to only filter and return results for the documentation site.
  • We should implement directed and filterable searches for users. There have been community requests to be able to search the docs page.
  • I believe they changed the input-form functionality, it is on 'enter' to inititiate the search, where our new search-bar is currently tied to 'on key up'. We might want to switch it over to theirs.

Describe the solution you'd like to see

sync our search bar with recent changes to the docs site
