Hexdocs search engine for devs

[KristerV]

@gregvaughn

I’d use mix hex.docs fetch

I don’t mind. I thought about this approach, but it seems to me that the complexity outweighs the benefits here. btw i want the search to reflect the menu items and not just the functions, since guides and sections can be very useful. so it makes more sense to just parse the JSON that the sidebar is compiled of. No disk management, no grepping, no mistakes. Or is my logic flawed?

@dimitarvp

I crafted a few very simple ripgrep regex-ish expressions and alias-ed them in my ~/.zshrc

I’d love to see that too.

I believe dash can do hex docs.

For Linux and Windows there’s also Zeal, but I couldn’t get used to the interface. Also there’s only one broken repo that transforms hexdocs into docsets, which Zeal needs, so only Elixir itself is supported.
