Description

Summary

Replace the current Astro built-in search functionality with Mixedbread AI's semantic search to provide better, more intelligent search results for LiveStore documentation.

Context

Maxwell is currently working on a similar implementation for the Effect docs, making this a perfect opportunity to leverage that work and bring enhanced search capabilities to LiveStore.

Proposed Implementation

  • Replace Astro's default search with Mixedbread AI integration
  • Index LiveStore documentation content for semantic search
  • Implement search UI that provides more relevant and contextual results
  • Ensure search works across all documentation sections

Future Enhancements

Once the documentation search is implemented, we can explore:

  • Indexing LiveStore Discord conversations via the LiveStore Discord bot
  • Cross-platform search across docs and community discussions

Benefits

  • Better relevance: Semantic search understands context and intent
  • Improved UX: More accurate results for technical queries
  • Knowledge reuse: Leverage Maxwell's work on Effect docs implementation
  • Extensible: Foundation for future Discord integration
