Add search capability to site

[Beliavsky]

It would be nice if fortran-lang.org had a search bar. Python.org and isocpp.org do.

We might be able to do this easily when switching our static side generator to sphinx + MyST (see #89), which would also allow having translations of the webpage. But I haven't got around to follow up on this issue yet, too much other stuff to do.

Not sure how simple / difficult this is to implement in jekyll.

MyST may also be useful to port the Rosetta Stone part of Fortran90.org, see issue fortran-lang/webpage#112

Yes, I've been using MyST as a format for Jupyter notebooks for a few weeks now and it is very robust. So we can then convert the tutorials to Jupyter notebooks (literally powered by LFortran), and they will be rendered correctly.

So Sphinx+MyST is really good.

Pandoc does not seem to handle MyST format yet. But I have found those converters that maybe useful:

• https://github.com/executablebooks/rst-to-myst
• https://github.com/executablebooks/rst2myst

[certik]

Yes. And when I was talking about tutorials, I meant these: https://github.com/fortran-lang/fortran-lang.org/tree/master/learn/quickstart which are already in Markdown, so converting to MyST will be super easy.

The last big things to convert from fortran90.org is: https://www.fortran90.org/src/rosetta.html, and we can do it by hand, it's not that big of a deal.

This functionality will be available once we migrate to https://github.com/fortran-lang/webpage (see #415), sphinx offers a side wide search by default.
