Embed the actual document instead of preview #1

Closed eklem closed 9 years ago

A lot of search engines talk about how good they are at previewing documents in the search result. But if your "documents" are web pages with embed-capabilities, there's no more need for a preview, you could just show the actual embed-view of the content.

I know this is most probably just about developing the template, but could be a nice feature to include. Why? Because it'll showcase a really good aspect of the web centric search engine Norch really is.

So, it could maybe be extensions to norch-bootstrap or just a fork to better showcase possible functionality. If the users only have to define which field is the embed-url for an item, and what type of embed it is (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook etc).

Here's some documentation on the three mentioned above: https://dev.twitter.com/web/embedded-tweets http://instagram.com/developer/embedding/# https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/embedded-posts

Yes, it would be cool to at least have a demo that searches in tweets and then shows them in an embedded in the resultpage
