Feature Request: Integrate Orama for Enhanced Document Search

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The current search functionality in Hugging Face documentation could be improved to provide more accurate and relevant results. Users often struggle to find specific information quickly, especially when dealing with large amounts of documentation across different libraries and models.

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose integrating Orama, an open-source full-text and vector search engine, into the Hugging Face documentation platform. This integration would provide:

1. More powerful and accurate search capabilities
2. Support for both keyword-based and semantic search
3. Faster search results, even with large documentation sets
4. Improved relevance ranking of search results
5. Potential for AI-powered search features in the future

Describe alternatives you've considered

Other search solutions considered include:

1. Elasticsearch - Powerful but more complex to set up and maintain
2. Algolia - Excellent search capabilities but comes with licensing costs
3. MeiliSearch - Good performance but less flexible than Orama for AI-powered features

Orama stands out due to its combination of powerful search capabilities, ease of use, and flexibility, making it suitable for Hugging Face's diverse documentation needs.

Additional context

Orama (https://github.com/askorama/orama) is gaining traction in the developer community for its performance and ease of integration. It supports both full-text search and vector search, which aligns well with Hugging Face's focus on machine learning and NLP.

Implementing Orama could significantly enhance the user experience for developers and researchers using Hugging Face documentation, making it easier to find relevant information quickly and accurately.
