All the needed for lunrjs search on octopress. in easy steps.
This post is inspired from jekyll-lunr-js-search and octopress-lunr-js-search. I couldn't find easy plugins to install/use so I decided to create a minimalist theme that integrated it directly. This theme is based on a structure allowing Octopress updates.
This theme only modify the source/_includes/custom/head.html file. You can execute the following commands to gain a lot of time.
This part explains how to quickly install the plugin as well as the structures that it needs. Let's start by working on a new branch just in case your theme in place does not support this quick installation.
$ git checkout -b octopress-lunr-theme
$ sed -i "/^end/c\ gem 'json'\n gem 'nokogiri'\nend" Gemfile
$ bundle install
$ git clone https://github.com/alain-andre/octopress-lunr-theme.git .themes/octopress-lunr-theme
$ # If you do not have a theme installed (first install), you must command : bundle exec rake install
$ bundle exec rake install["octopress-lunr-theme"] # In any case
$ bundle exec rake new_page['search']
mkdir -p source/search
Creating new page: source/search/index.markdown
$ echo "{% include custom/lunr_search/entries.html %}" >> source/search/index.markdown
$ cp .themes/octopress-lunr-theme/plugins/octopress_lunr_theme.rb plugins/octopress_lunr_theme.rb
$ sed -i "/^simple_search:/c\simple_search: #" _config.yml
$ sed -i "s/^default_asides: \[/default_asides: \[custom\/asides\/lunr_search.html, /" _config.yml
$ bundle exec rake generate
$ git add -A
$ git commit -m "lunr-js-search Installation"
Voilà, you just need now to do a bundle exec rake preview to see everythings working. Now it's time to go back to your master branch and check if there is changes at your source/_includes/custom/head.html file.
$ git checkout master
$ git merge octopress-lunr-theme
