Auto-search content of pages

[damithc]

Current: only page titles and specified keywords in the frontmatter appear in search results.

Suggested: also include other content in pages for search results

Raising priority as full-text search can greatly enhance the usefulness of a content-heavy website.

I don't mind full-text search is a separate page altogether and takes some time to load (i.e., if the full search index needs to be downloaded to the Browser first)

Are we open to integrating existing solutions for full-text search?

Docsearch (free, open-source):

DocSearch will crawl your documentation website, push its content to an Algolia index, and allow you to add a dropdown search menu for your users to find relevant content in no time.

Ideally, we should have a decent built-in solution and the ability to integrate other third-party solutions.

As discussed with @marvinchin today, Marvin is planning to explore using the Lunrjs library to implement a built-in full text search. This library is also used by MkDocs.

Are we still looking to have built-in full text search for V2? 😅 I'm not sure that I can finish it by the end of the semester.

Good to have, but not necessary. Same for the FOUC problem. Both have a good-enough workaround but not a full-fledged solution.
