Hello Redis team,
I've noticed that your documentation could take advantage of our DocSearch initiative.
So, we went on trying to improve the search and came up with this demo:
Try out the search here (we've added docsearch.js to a mirror of your docs).
DocSearch is crawling the website every 24h, extracting content from every page. Then this content is indexed by Algolia and exposed to the user with a searchbox and its custom dropdown.
You might have already used DocSearch on some popular documentations like Bootstrap, Vue, jQuery, React, Jest, Gitlab, Brew, Heroku, Stripe ...
So far, we are maintaining our crawler for 1500+ docs.
- DocSearch is fast, it handles typos and highlighting.
- Search results jump directly to the matching part of the page.
- Whenever your markup changes you can customize the configuration on DocSearch repository.
- You'll also have access to a dashboard of the most queried terms, as well as those that yields no results. We found it to be a very good way of knowing how to improve our documentation.
- DocSearch is and will remain FREE
Are you interested? 👍 👎

I can't speak for anybody else but myself, but full-text search on the Redis documentation should be implemented with Redis, if at all. Not with Algolia, or any other SaaS.
