Create new search index

[gemfarmer]

The search in the search bar should search the site as well as external resources that we curate.

Our search is currently via 18F/Beckley, which works well, but experiences a non-trivial number of service outages.

To fix this, we can replace Beckley with the jekyll_pages_api_search gem, which automatically generates a search index for our jekyll site. AND we can do this without removing our current functionality!

The search gem uses http://lunrjs.com/ under the hood to create an index that we can add() our existing curated list of external resources to.

Steps to make this happen:

• [x] add the jekyll_pages_api_search gem
• [x] locate our curated list of resources
• [ ] replace our /search-results/ page following the custom UI option allowed by the gem. On that page, we should be able to add JS that will add our curated index to the generated index

So, after digging into this a bit more, it looks like we won't be able to integrate the index created by the jekyll_pages_api_search gem without editing that repo. We can do that, but I wonder if it would faster and maybe better to separate the two searches. One list for internal "hits", another for external resources??

Thoughts @meiqimichelle ?

Let's talk! Might grab @ericronne 's brain to think about what that might look like, if he has time.

I think this is done with #2195?! @meiqimichelle
