Cool! This seems pretty high quality for documentation search. I've gone ahead and added it as my main web search engine for Dash App. Here's a few tests I gave it. I think these tests are all moderately ambiguous, so it's acceptable if the result isn't necessarily on the top.
- "componentdidmount" -> React Component documentation
- "express request" -> Express API documentation (monolithic documentation page)
- "quaternion lookat" -> Unity3D docs for "LookRotation" (the correct method name)
- "strings replace" -> go package is second result, adding "go" to query makes it first
- "dataframe read_csv" -> pandas read_csv documentation
It didn't handle these as well:
- "browserrouter" -> nothing useful, react router documentation appears to not be indexed
- "python readlines" -> official documentation on this isn't in the top 10 results, and the 12th result is python2's version
- "numpy normal distribution" -> a bunch of stack overflow questions that don't even talk about np.random.normal
A meta-note: my Mac changes "numpy" to "bumpy" (or "lumpy" or any other word it can think of ending in "umpy") and several other annoying autocorrects. Maybe disable autocorrect on the search field?
