[Feature Request] Improve gethomepage.dev search indexing frequency

[moritz-john]

Description

I noticed that the search function on gethomepage.dev is almost unusable for some search queries. I use the search in the documentation after a new homepage version gets released to inform myself about new features.

Steps to reproduce

1) Checkout new release v0.6.5 2) Read e.g.: "Feature: Custom CSS by @lholota in https://github.com/benphelps/homepage/pull/904" 3) Go to https://gethomepage.dev/en/installation/ and search for the keyword "CSS" 4) Find absolutley nothing related to the keyword "CSS"

I'd expect to find this result: https://gethomepage.dev/en/configs/settings/#custom-css

Other

Tested in Firefox and Ungoogled Chromium.

I noticed that this happens almost every time a new feature / configuration gets released. I can never find the new feature / configuration in the documentation via the search.

I think something is missconfigured or the search index outdated.

Im not sure of the frequency but the docs are scraped periodically by the algolia crawler, don't think there is a configuration problem

Agree its annoying that doesn't show up (yet?)

Actually, we will double-check the crawler

Crawls are handled by the Algolia Crawler and scheduled to run once a week by default, you can then trigger new crawls yourself [...]

I think it would be awesome to manually trigger the crawler for each release.

Thanks, the crawler was updated and should run every 24h now, which should be sufficient.

Ps. just realized custom css doesn't work as-is, its going to be reverted =/
