Search preview shows Markdown source

[jtebert]

Describe the bug
When a search term is found in formatted Markdown text (e.g., a link) the search preview shows the raw Markdown rather than text. This is particularly odd-looking when it includes things like liquid template tags.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a link on a Markdown page with some searchable text as the link text.
2. Enter this term in the search bar and look at the preview.

Expected behavior
Text should be shown with the tags/formatting stripped (or at least that's how it currently seems to be doing it on this project's documentation).

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 18.04
• Browser: Chrome 76

Additional notes:
This does not occur on this project's documentation. (Try searching for "quick start guide" as an example). My guess is that the bug comes from the way that the search JSON is being compiled. Updating with bundle update didn't solve the problem.

@jtebert can you paste the contents of your site's search-data.json file?

The problem is, that jekyll processes all files in alphabetical order. So search.json is processed before zsh.md and the content is therefore not yet rendered while including it in the json file.
The markdownify filter only processes markdown but not liquid.

The only solution seems to be to rename the search-data.json file to zzzz-search-data.json and add a permalink: /assets/js/search-data.json

I'd forgotten about this issue, but it seems to have been resolved by some update since I created it, so I'm going to close the issue.

I'm having this problem in the latest version (0.3.3).

I'm seeing Markdown for images and links showing up in previews.

Here is a minimal Markdown example to reproduce:
