Research direction

Review issue #568 and the previous client-side search that used cache.json, then compare it with the removed GHCJS-based Impulse search. Evaluate elasticlunr.js or another direct-to-JavaScript option; done means restoring fast title and tag search for larger notebooks without the prior runtime overhead.

Description

enhancement v2 Web Interface

Originally we had a JavaScript based search that used cache.json to search zettels by title or tag. It got replaced by GHCJS-based Impulse search, but that turned out to be very slow on larger notebooks, so it got removed. So let's reinstate the old search feature, based on JavaScript or any other language that compiles directly to JS (without runtime overhead), such as TypeScript and PureScript.

Look into using elasticlunr.js of #568
