Searching for topics based on topic names or content

Closed this issue · 5 comments

I'm often finding myself going through the "cmd+f, cmd+g, next" pattern for 20+ pages trying to find all discussion on particular topics. It would be great to have search faculties built into the application, to make t/his easier and mitigate the risk of RSI!

I might have a go at building it myself in a few weeks if nobody else cares to

Yeah a full-featured search (with separate page) would be a nice feature!

The current Algolia search box (seen below) is a good start but is limited and doesn't work on mobile:
