[docs-infra] Add search bar feature about material-ui HOT 5 CLOSED

Hey @twassim1234, thanks for the issue! What would be the difference between what you're suggesting and what we currently already have on the documentation platform?

from material-ui.

The difference lies in the proposed integration of a dedicated search bar directly within Material UI components themselves, rather than relying solely on external documentation platforms for search functionality.

Currently, while users can search for documentation and related information on the documentation platform, the suggested feature aims to enhance the user experience within the Material UI components themselves by providing a built-in search functionality. This means that users won't need to navigate away from the component they are currently using in order to search for relevant documentation or examples.

I don't fully understand what you mean by this. I'm wondering if what you're suggesting is that you'd like the search results to only display Material UI-related content instead of stuff from other products, given the "search bar directly within Material UI components" part.

Yes, you're correct. The suggestion is to have the search functionality within Material UI components focus specifically on Material UI-related content. This means that when users utilize the search bar within Material UI components, the results would prioritize or exclusively display content related to Material UI components, properties, methods, examples, documentation, and potentially community-contributed content directly related to Material UI.

By having the search functionality integrated into the Material UI components themselves, users can quickly find relevant information and examples related to their current usage context without having to sift through unrelated content from other products or platforms. This focused search capability within the Material UI components enhances the user experience and ensures that users can easily access the information they need within the Material UI ecosystem.

Gotcha—I appreciate the clarity! I'll close this issue in this case as we already have one dedicated to implementing product-scoped search (#41541). The intention is exactly that: give users focused on product A search results just for product A if configured to do so.
