Index and search over blog posts

[marko-bekhta]

We can add a search over blogs feature to the quarkus.io.

To match what we do for the documentation, the screen can look as:

We'd need to index the blog content + have a tag filter during the search.

We probably would want to read the adoc files to get some data from the front matter out: https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkusio.github.io/blob/45f7a24115a8a74172cf18102e2a1c4a0a21685b/_posts/2024-06-17-quarkus-3-11-2-released.adoc?plain=1#L1-L8
and then use the generated htmls as content.

I think @maxandersen and @ia3andy have talked about a "global" search on the website in the past.
I understand searching on all pages is definitely out of scope, but maybe a search box at the very top (e.g. to the right of the Quarkus logo), and searching across guides and blog posts, could make sense?

Remember we can adjust the generation of the blog posts. If adding <meta> tags in the page of each blog post is convenient, we can do that 🤷

that would be nice - but what (if any) blocks us from adding the few pages that is on quarkus.io that is not guides nor blogs to the index so the search box will search across the site rather than just subset?

We probably can do the global search too, though it'll be just a text search with some "preselected" filters on guides... Or do you think that we should search across all versions of guides when a global search is used?
And if we do a global search we probably want to still keep the guides search for filters, right?
