Full-text search

[jrappen]

Maybe it would be possible to not use Algolia document search, but a custom search built-in?

Otherwise search wouldn’t work for a company Intranet.

VuePress comes with built-in headers-based search - it automatically builds a simple search index from the title, h2 and h3 headers from all the pages.

While I appreciate that vuepress has both options of "built-in header-search" and "Algolia search for fulltext", I agree with the issue author that having also a built-in fulltext search would be an excellent addition (for example, MKDocs and Gitbook have this feature).

Internal/private documents would enormously benefit from this (and this would make Vuepress an excellent choice for such cases).

@yyx990803 Would you consider re-opening this?

@ulivz wrote an explanation why it's currently not implemented here: #385 (comment)

Since all pages are loaded on demand, so full text search will make it meaningless.

So we won't plan to implement it at default theme, but maybe it can be done by a plugin in the future (Maybe v1.0.0).

#1557 I added tags support and multi-word search, not the whole nine yard but a small improvement!
