Add search to the website

probonopd commented 5 years ago

For example, Jekyll search using lunr.js https://learn.cloudcannon.com/jekyll/jekyll-search-using-lunr-js/ or https://github.com/christian-fei/Simple-Jekyll-Search/ (works on GH Pages, has see-as-you-type) or https://github.com/jekylltools/jekyll-tipue-search (No plugin necessary. Fully compatible with Github Pages.)

Getting Error: SimpleJekyllSearch --- failed to get JSON (https://appimage.github.io/search.json). Why? https://appimage.github.io/search.json is there...

probonopd commented 5 years ago

https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ says: Invalid encoding, expecting UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32.[Code 29, Structure 0]

There's a plugin for Algolia ot embed a powerful search on a jekyll website, it's deployable on Github Pages via Travis.

probonopd commented 5 years ago

Thanks for the pointer @DirtyF. Right now we are not deploying the website via Travis, but via the Jekyll runner built into GitHub. Makes for quicker deployments, would prefer to keep it that way if possible.

maverick74 commented 4 years ago

@probonopd is there anything on the horizon about this?

A search field on the website is really (terribly) missed...

probonopd commented 4 years ago

Thanks for your feedback @maverick74, I'd like a search too, but I could not figure out how to do it in Jekyll. Pull requests would be highly welcome.
