Description

I like the idea to have a full-text search over all links with its content.

Idea for the implementation

  • a cronjob graps the main content of the site. Maybe with this package
  • the HTML and/or the plain text of the article will be saved in the database
  • in the first step a search can be implemented with MySQL full-text search
  • in the future can be redis search an option for a better search experience

What do you thing about this feature? Could this feature relevant for this project?

Research direction
The issue proposes implementing full text search using a PHP package (graby) to extract content, store HTML/plain text in MySQL, and utilize MySQL full text search. Future optimization with Redis is suggested. Implementation involves setting up a cron job, defining a database schema for content storage, and integrating search functionality into the UI. Further investigation is needed to confirm maintainer interest and to decide on specific storage and indexing strategies.
