Add full Text Search feature to search among the various news articles published about floeproject.org

@shash137 the GSoC project is going to change the file structure significantly. It's better to wait for the migration to an SSG before this search feature is touched upon. Different SSGs provide different plugins for search, so implementing a search feature for such a small period is not feasible. This is why I left this issue unattended after suggesting it.

@sachin10101998 Looking at lunr, it seems like it would be a good enhancement for the search on the We Count site too. Thanks! I was just linking to the solution the We Count team had used for reference but lunr seems better.

An example of such a lunr based search feature can be found at this project of mine. I completed this for my GSoC 2019 project and can implement similar such search feature for floeproject too.
Let me know your views about this @jhung , @jobara

Thanks @sachin10101998 — this is a good candidate for inclusion in the redesign. We've also implemented a Vue-based search of a local JSON index in inclusive-design/wecount.inclusivedesign.ca#223.

@greatislander do you plan to create a replica of the Vue based search for Floe too? Given the volume of material to be searched, a lighter search engine could be in place.

@sachin10101998 @greatislander Now as the GSoC 2020 phase is over, can I work on this as it's still open and the designs must have been incorporated?

[greatislander]

@kshitij86 The designs have not been completed yet, so we'll be exploring this once that process is done.
