thank you so much!
Can I ask if it's possible to show the show notes that match in the search somehow? Sort of like Google Search? If I search for React hooks I want to see where in the show notes they are mentioned
@wesbos That’s a good idea, we might be able to come up with a solution which should allow for this. It makes sense too considering your current search results also take the show notes into consideration as well.
Completely forgot to post here: After a lot of internal discussion, we haven't been able to come up with a way of dealing with highlighting inside the show notes currently.
I've already told @wesbos directly in person but figured I'd keep this PR updated with the information as well.
I feel like the show note highlighting should hold up this PR. Would be nice to get this merged.
I'm assuming all the show notes are indexed? I see the show html is being saved but wonder if the show should be broken up more into separate sections for indexing. Also interesting that this is indexed client side. What was the reason behind that?
