#101 Search the website content using algolia
Opened 3 years ago by areguera. Modified 3 years ago

The website doesn't provide a mechanism to find information based on interactive search patterns and I would like to rise the topic here looking for your opinion in whether it would be a good feature to have in future updates of CentOS website.

Agolia has a plan for open source projects.


This looks great, and something I'd love to see us pursue. Do we need someone "official" filling out the application form?

Yes. I think the official filling is necessary, specially if the opensource plan is the one requested.

After registration Algiola should provide an account to access a dashboard in which we can configure search indexes and receive statistics about them.

Jekyll already has a plugin for this. Here is a small video showing the integration.

Any news? We now have https://www.dev.centos.org/search/ to make configuration and search tests.

I signed up for the demo, and ... I must admit, I completely forgot to follow up with anything. I will get back in there and see what we need to do to sign up.

For reference, Fedora is having a similar discussion - https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/ospo-community-infrastructure-projects/us/1 - and it wouldn't hurt to get together on a solution.

I checked with Algolia about whether we qualify for the open source plan, and it's still unclear, since we fall under the "Applications for non-commercial projects backed by commercial entities will be reviewed on a case-by-base basis" term. Trying to get an answer.
