feat: Add or Document search capabilities #17

Is it possible that bridgetown could implement or document some sort of basic search capability. I feel this is a very critical aspect of websites that is often overlooked by static site generators.

jaredcwhite commented 4 years ago

That would be super useful, for sure. In the past I used a customized version of a plugin for Jekyll that used a JS package that could search tokens generated in a JSON at build time. I should see if we can implement something similar, perhaps as an officially-sanctioned Bridgetown plugin.

Great sounds good. If implemented as a plugin, I would also like to see a page about it directly in the main docs.

Making a note here we'll likely base a solution off of: https://lunrjs.com

It's worked well for me in the past and other plugins in the Jekyll world have utilized it…

It has begun! Coming soon to a Bridgetown website near you.

Check out the search working now on the beta website! Plugin will be widely available when 0.15 is officially released:

This plugin is now out in the wild alongside the release of Bridgetown 0.15!

Wondering how I could fit in a mention of this into the docs somewhere…
