Add search bar functionality typesense.

[akshar001]

There are two popular search mechanisms are out there, one is Algolia and other one is TypeSense. TypeSense is open and free, and I think it already might have integrated in our theme. But if it is not, we will use it.

Upon looking further into this, both typesense and algolia seems to be opensource but paid service.

You need to get API keys for creating local server for instant search.
Algolia provides a free tier for limited about of queries and data.
typesense seems to be paid for getting API keys.

I found this which provides search as you type feature.
But its only for websites hosted on read-the-docs.

Typesense is open source, https://github.com/typesense/typesense ?

@UtsavBalar1231 please see this: typesense/typesense#695

Moreover, as far as I understand, all these search services follow a client-server model. The paid service is the service of providing the server (that hosts the database) and the client that queries it. Typesense's paid service, I think, is when we use servers hosted on their cloud. It's open source in the sense that we can host our own typesense servers - which is not possible for algolia's service

If it's time consuming leave it for letter, it it's easy, we can try to do it now.
