Improvements to Search #46

Open amy-jung opened 9 months ago

amy-jung commented 9 months ago

Misspellings: currently no results. Add maybe a third party service to suggestions “did you mean…” ✅ No results should offer different path (either suggest something close, suggestion to add record, or back to discovery)

Related to #38

For misspellings, we could use Algolia's autocomplete. I've used Algolia for search and it's fairly good. It's also used by other teams for technical documentation.

They have Algolia Documentation their search API: https://www.algolia.com/doc/ui-libraries/autocomplete/introduction/showcase/
Also DocSearch: https://docsearch.algolia.com/
Both are open source and free.

I thought it would be easier implementation, but I read they don't have a library of ready-made UI widgets. Would be curious to hear from @carletex @damianmarti how difficult implementation may be.

@amy-jung I did a quick review of Algolia autocomplete documentation, and I think that the main issue we have is what source we should use for this (the source is where Algolia autocomplete get the words to fill in).

Maybe we can try the autocomplete plugin, that get query suggestions from Query Autocomplete -> https://www.algolia.com/doc/ui-libraries/autocomplete/api-reference/autocomplete-plugin-query-suggestions/
