Wiki.js

It'd be cool to have a search results page built up by URL parameters like this: http://wiki.domain.com/search?=QUERY Then you could search the wiki from other sites/extensions.

When using a large number of groups, it is difficult to search for them in the admin panel without a search bar. For example: searching for users is convenient

It would be nice to have search include comments while searching. Given the fact that Wiki can be used inside the company, people with more "knowledge" may add a comment, and while it might be added later to the article itself, it would be nice if, for example, Elasticsearch could also store comments and perform search on them.

To further highlight pages where keywords are found or with sub search results for hits of the keyword searched.

In Japanese, even one character (kanji) often has a sufficient meaning (eg: "竜" means a 6 letters "dragon"), and it can be inconvenient if I can't search with one character.

I have built a simple variant of the basic data engine that provides FULL TEXT search using SqLite's intrinsic FTS5 full text engine with bm25 ordering. It is my thank-you for providing such a nice and clean wiki.js implementation. https://github.com/Smallscript-Corp/wiki.js.st

In Chinese sentences, there are no spaces among phrases, or all hieraglyphs are lined up with no spaces in between. So search in Chinese should do partial match, or match by each hieraglyph.

Partial search in Azure works with asterisk at the end, can it be added as an option in the search engine to automatically add it to the searh term as user types? See this doc https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-query-partial-matching Also the suggestions on mobile are out of view when the keyboard is open, at least on my smartphone, I think the warning icon could be a lot smaller.

TL;DR: A keybind that when pressed focusses the search input box. The search bar is rather prominent on the wiki software, it is on every page and always shown (mobile has search icon). It also searches live, showing results as you type. A major reason to use a wiki in the first place is to create a searchable collection of knowledge. The search experience is key to a wiki. For this I'd suggest to create a global hotkey for search, and if design permits to advertise it in the input placeholder directly. An example of this would be VueJS's site: https://vuejs.org/ (see topbar, left aligned). What shortcut / hotkey it should be I'm not sure. Slack has (ctrl/cmd)+G, vuejs.org has (ctrl/cmd)+K. It seems that most often the pre-existing keybind (ctrl/cmd)+F implemented by the browser is left alone. Some open questions: What key-binding would be the default Should focus be stolen from other input elements (e.g. comment box) Are there pages where the keybind should not hold? Should the hotkey be optional (may be relevant for themes / custom scripts, to remove the logic)

While editing a long page in markdown mode, ctrl-f will only display results found on the screen - it won't find results from further down the document.
