[p2pu-dev] Search in Lernanta

[John Britton]

Hey Jos,

Right now there's nothing special about the P2PU site search, it's just
using the Google index. Now that we've decided on separating content from
groups we have a better idea of our underlying model structure and I think
it will be pretty stable after the current changes..

Once those changes are made, adding a search that is a bit more aware of
our structure (challenge, group, peer, etc) would be a good idea. We've
talked about using Lucene / Solr in the past but haven't gotten to it yet.
Definitely a project a volunteer could start working on any time.

In the meantime I've created a placeholder for it in the backlog:

Cheers,
John Britton
