Feature Request: Searchable Docs (possibly with a docsaurus 2 plugin)

[markmelville]

I have often wished for a search feature in the documentation. I thought something based on lunr.js would work well.

While looking into it, I found that the docs are generated with docsaurus, but it's on v1 for which the only search option is a SaaS-based feature from algolia. in docsaurus v2 there are several plugins that build a local index that lunr.js can use. So I started down the process of trying to upgrade docsaurus to v2, but there are so many pieces and I don't know if I'm missing something. I've never used these libraries before.

If a project owner could offer some assistance I'd appreciate it. I'm happy to do most of the legwork but I don't want to put a bunch of time into this only to find that it's not the direction that the project owners want to take this. Help from non-project owners would be appreciated, too, esp. if you have experience with docsaurus.

Hi Mark, it would be fantastic if you could spare the time to upgrade the doc generation to v2. I briefly looked at it a few months ago but realised (as you've noted) that it's not a trivial task. I'm happy to assist where I can, but I'm by no means a docusaurus expert - I just learned enough to get something published a few years back :)

Thanks!
