Add Search Functionality to DevEx Documentation #133

Description

@danbaruka

Problem statement

The DevEx documentation currently does not provide any in-site search functionality. As the documentation continues to grow, developers and contributors must rely on manual navigation, which increases onboarding friction and slows down information discovery.

Proposed solution

Introduce a searchable documentation experience by:

  • Integrating a documentation search solution (e.g. Algolia DocSearch, Meilisearch, or equivalent)
  • Indexing DevEx documentation content
  • Adding a global search input in the header or sidebar
  • Ensuring search results link directly to relevant pages or sections

Scope and impact

Scope

  • DevEx documentation hosted on https://devex.intersectmbo.org
  • Documentation discovery and navigation
  • Search UI integration and indexing configuration

Impact

  • Faster access to relevant information
  • Reduced onboarding friction for new contributors
  • Lower support overhead for maintainers
  • Improved overall developer experience

Checks

  • I searched existing issues and discussions
  • This is a feature/enhancement request (not a question or doc issue)
