Docfx Russian language search

Question

How to make docfx to search in Russian language? It searches English words just fine, but not Russian words. I tried to debug it and can see that it uses lunr library for search. How can I replace standard lunr library with Russian lunr in docfx?

Answer 1

Turns out to be quite easy: In order to support other languages apart from those which supports lunr use this repo: https://github.com/MihaiValentin/lunr-languages

Open search-worker.js file from docfx and modify it a bit as readme at github suggest:

Add imports

importScripts('lunr.stemmer.support.js');
importScripts('lunr.ru.js');

Copy these files from github to the folder with lunr.js

Modify the following method:

var lunrIndex = lunr(function() {
      this.pipeline.remove(lunr.stopWordFilter);
Add this line...>this.use(lunr.ru);
      this.ref('href');

Enjoy.
