Create and add something similar to https://docs.strongloop.com/display/APIC/Search+LoopBack+docs to the new doc site.

IMHO search is essential as the hierarchy of the docs is not always intuitive. Currently the search box isn't working - assuming it's known and related to this Issue.

Yes @doublemarked it's known, and I agree it is absolutely essential. I'm going to try to fix this today if I can.

OK, 6deb328 added an initial implementation using Google Custom search. I wanted to customize the CSS, and the only way I could figure out how to do that was to use the older version of GCS. It seems to work OK, but I think we can still improve the look. Help with CSS is appreciated.

Also, I don't like that every time you load a page, it displays "Loading" before displaying the search box...and sometimes doesn't load quickly. The search results also look a bit wonky. But at least it's functional now.

It's supposed to have autocomplete, but I haven't seen it working.. so not sure what's going on with that.

I've marked this as "done" in #39 checklist, because it is functional. However, there is room for cosmetic improvement so I'm going to leave this issue open for the time being. Anyone with CSS-fu is welcome to make it look better. See https://github.com/strongloop/loopback.io/blob/gh-pages/_includes/topnav.html and https://github.com/strongloop/loopback.io/blob/gh-pages/css/gcs.css for a start.

On second thought, I'll go ahead and close this. We'll just open separate issues for cosmetic or other improvements to the search feature.

Yea sure - functional and ugly is still functional :)
