Hi, thanks for opening this proposal. We already have an algolia search, what would be different?
mind - it is on the docs.scala-lang.org only currently
@bishabosha sir Differences between current Algolia Search on docs.scala-lang.org and Proposed Search for scala-lang.org
currently I am studying Scala subject in my Academics in 2 nd year b-tech as Lab program that's why after researching collecting information I got motivation to enhanced this Algolia Search for scala-lang.org with the help of your team
@bishabosha sir are you there
@bishabosha sir are you there
please don't notify people for a "bump" - you are of course free to experiment using your own resources without asking for permission
ok sir @bishabosha but please assign me
Advanced Search Functionality on scala-lang.org Proposal
Project Title: Advanced Search Functionality for scala-lang.org
Description:
This project seeks to add full-text search, comprehensive, and user-friendly search functionality, filters, and highlighting of search terms in results across all content available on thescala-lang.org website.
Objectives:
Features:
Full-Text Search: -. Enable users to perform keyword searches against the full text of all content on the site — pages, posts, and documentation.
Filters for Search Results: Add filters to allow the user to narrow down the results based on content type: • Blog posts • Tutorials • Documentation • News Other filters by metadata, such as date and author.
Term highlighting in search:
User-Friendly Interface:
Implementation Plan:
Search Backend Setup:
Search Interface Development: Create a search bar in HTML, CSS and a results page in JavaScript Add the search bar at the header of the website for easy access create a design of the result page which will include filtered and highlighted search results.
Implementation of Filtering Mechanism A filtering mechanism shall be developed in JavaScript that shall assist the user in narrowing the searched results. The filters will be dynamic and update the search results in real time.
Highlight Search Terms This will be a method implemented in JavaScript that shall highlight the search terms within the search results.
Testing and Optimization: Test extensively for accuracy and speed in search functionality. Optimize search algorithm to return results fast and relevantly.
Documenting and Deploying Document the search functionality, clearly detailing how the index is to be maintained or upgraded on the site. Deploy the developed search functionality onto the production site.
Resources Required:
**Possible Issues:
Ensure that all content is indexed correctly and kept up to date in real time by the search engine. Ensure that even with an increase in site content, search performance and relevance does not degrade. Integrate the search functionality without disrupting the existing site design and performance.
Success Metrics:
Improved user satisfaction for the search functionality Fast Increased usage of the search feature to be measured by site analytics Est Very positive feedback from the community and contributors
It is expected that with the aid of these advanced search features, usability and accessibility in scala-lang.org will allow users to efficiently find information they want from the webpage, resulting in high ratings on User Experience and Engagement.
