Search engine for the documentation

[JOduMonT]

it is normal than the search engine is not really reliable ?

if you search for well-known or Well-Known or well-Known or Well-known or well known, ... it return nothing

is there a way to improve that outside of using inurl google ?

@JOduMonT I get this as soon as I type well

Unfortunately this is a known issue and the one we use, which comes with mkdocs, is pretty bad indeed.

The reason to not use google or angolia is basically purely based on the selfhosting spirit we operate as a company. In that specific case we don't really want to expose our user's search queries getting exposed to a 3rd party.

Basically we are waiting for a selfhostable and integrate-able search engine there

I know it is possible to index specific site with YaCy but, someone know if it's possible to embed it in a website ?
