Search - Recommendations / Best Practices / Auto-Index

[codebykenny]

I wanted to know how the Nuxt team and others currently maintain their Nuxt Content indexes for search?

@nuxtjs/algolia had an auto-indexer feature that no longer seems to work with nuxt-content 2, it would crawl the content and generate indexes based on the title/description of each page.

Is there an easy drop-in solution that auto-indexes the content for search?

Thanks!

Hello @codebykenny ;

We do not yet have a proper process to do that, I think we use our own crawler but I would have to ask @clemcode or @atinux for that.

Full text search without additional provider is something we want to explore though.

@clemcode ; could we maybe open source what we use for Nuxt.com search crawling?

Thanks for asking @codebykenny, I hope we'll soon have a proper solution to give you.

Hi! We use Algolia Docsearch on nuxt.com, so unfortunately no script to share, it is all done directly by the Docsearch crawler...

I'd prefer to have an open API allowing to build different search plugins around it, so nuxt/content would function as a kind of Gridsome, allowing to plug multiple sources in and modify the data in the content layer before it gets exposed to the query API.
