Need ability to search

[shirotech]

I guess the main difference with this and https://svelte.dev/docs is that on the svelte website the whole docs is a single page and scrolled along with the left nav. This allows the user to use the browser search because everything is there on a single page. However, this is not the case for svelte-docs, it is not a single page and hence we need a search functionality if we intend to keep this behaviour. Just a thought.

Have you any experience or thoughts how we can perform this?

I think there can be 2 reasonable solutions.

1. Replicate the same behavior of https://svelte.dev/docs will have breaking changes.
2. Need to index all contents into a JSON, possibly a build step as a rollup plugin. Similar to what I have on https://shirotech.com/ using a static site.

Might be other ways, those are the obvious ones I see.

1. No, splited pages are more universal. Single page won't allow us to code-spliting in future. And can't be be used for huge documents.
2. Looks like true way. We may have separate bundle with search engine and indexed pages.

Gonna second this, Angolia would be a great simple solution
