Make serpent, log, other library functions searchable in api docs

[sparr]

The functions on https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/aux ... aries.html should be searchable keywords in the left sidebar on that page and the rest of the auxiliary pages like https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/ind ... liary.html

It won't hurt if type/concept fields were searchable too.

Appreciate the suggestion. I'll put it on the list.

Type fields are already searchable if they are properties, but not if they are unions/tables. We'll discuss whether adding this is worth it.

Turns out there are inline types. They, too, are unsearchable.

That's intended because the inline types are not proper types and do not have proper names.

They sure appear to have them.

They have them, but they are never relevant except when using the property that inlines them. So you wouldn't need to search for them separately.

You might need to search for them because the FMTK gives you a warning or error that mentions them, or because you see some code that uses them.

Except it also stops you from finding the fields of those types.

Okay so for the next release, search will look for more properties. Mainly runtime concept unions, tables and LuaStructs; prototype Type unions; and define 'leaf nodes'. This doesn't satisfy the title of the thread, but I don't think making the lib page show up in search will really do anything. It does satisfy the other stuff this thread brought up.

Also, as a bonus, you can now filter out these property results via a toggle if you just want to search top-level members. All that for the 2.0.67 release ofc.

[curiosity]

Nice. It's also a first step to a full-text search.

[Therenas]

Well sort of, it's hard to do that on a static website. We'll see.
