Is that something where we could gather volunteers around, at least for the initial phase of evaluation?
IMHO it's quite some work and just putting that on Guilhem's plate might not work out in the short run
There might also be tools that are more lightweight than Elasticsearch (but I'm no expert)
For the moment, re-assigning to Olivier for further evaluation

Reassigning to me as it was me asking Olivier to do it during a private IRC chat :-) I don't think it's that much work; there are already plethora of ES-based search engine in the Free Software ecosystem, and deploying one of them is really an infra thing, not something for Olivier or the documentation team. Of course, if someone wants to work on this they're welcome to, but in the end there must be an infra handover, like for other infra-managed services.

Here is an example (just the first I found) of such a query parser that translator to ES queries: https://github.com/cweiske/phinde . And in action: http://search.cweiske.de/

Seems it is taking longer than planned indeed... ;-)
Shall we aim for Q4 then?

Didn't have time to get back to it, but I still think it's not much work :-)

Any update?
Does it make sense to ask the community for help?

  • Status changed from New to Rejected

Rejecting this one for now
It's been open for 18 months, and from what I remember, Olivier wants to move part of the documentation to extensions & templates, so this ticket likely is not needed anymore
Feel free to re-open if that assumption is wrong

Reopening.

Replacement for Google Custom search is ready and uploaded to gerrit: xapian-omega

The solution needs cgi installed in server (vm173).

  • Status changed from Rejected to Closed
  • URL set to https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/79366

Server deployment done with Olivier Hallot 's input & feedback, so I'm closing this. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/79366 is still open at the moment, but it'll likely soon be merged as well.
