List all possible permutations of search and docs installations
To better understand our needs and priorities regarding the docs site's search and air-gapped instances, we need to lay out all the possible permutations of search and docs installations.
- Online versions are the versions we have in the docs site dropdown.
- Archived versions are the versions not in the dropdown.
CURRENT
Instance | Help | Search | Algolia? |
---|---|---|---|
Self-managed with internet | /help |
GitLab search, no docs search | Not available |
Self-managed with internet | Redirect to local docs site stable version | Algolia, but results point to latest version of docs.gitlab.com
|
Partial functionality |
