json search engine support

[flashlab]

add json option to local search.

TODO:

• search with tag and catalog
• doc update

[ivan-nginx]

@flashlab can u please give some comments and examples how to use it?

[flashlab]

In the local search field of config file, 'search.xml' will end with xml database generated while 'search.json' comes with the json. For xml will raise out encoding error for some circonstances. @ivan-nginx

[ivan-nginx]

@flashlab and? How to use json in search? Need something like documentation to test it for merge.

[flashlab]

Update generator plugin to the latest version. @ivan-nginx

[ivan-nginx]

@flashlab there are 2 generators for search: hexo-generator-search and hexo-generator-searchdb. Both support json?

[flashlab]

yes. but only the latter one is compatible with Next.

[ivan-nginx]

@flashlab need to update hexo-generator-search to latest version, which is automatically support json objects, right?

but only the latter one is compatible with Next

So, hexo-generator-searchdb for now is not compatible with Next, right?

[flashlab]

No, I mean hexo-genrator-searchdb is compatible. the latest vesion(1.0.5) support json. Check out the plugin readme pleaase.

[ivan-nginx]

@flashlab ok, lets repeat it:

1. This pull is support compatible with json objects for Next theme.
2. To use this json compatible, need to setup hexo-generator-search-db instead of original hexo-generator-search.
3. In _config.yml add:

search:
  path: search.json

It is right?

P.S. Also, can u, please, rename path from
https://github.com/flashlab/hexo-generator-search to
https://github.com/flashlab/hexo-generator-searchdb
to see in google what it's modification and not just original fork?

[flashlab]

@ivan-nginx it's forked because it was modified from the original one to work better with Next. No need to initiate a new path I think.

[ivan-nginx]

@flashlab ok, what about last question?

It is right?

[flashlab]

Absolutely right. And we may continue this conversation in gitter;)

[ivan-nginx]
