ENHANCEMENT: Improve search with fuzzy matching #31

@jt14den

Description

@jt14den

Goal

Upgrade current basic search to fuzzy search that searches across multiple fields and highlights results.

Tasks

  • Evaluate search libraries (Fuse.js lightweight vs Algolia hosted)
  • Implement chosen library
  • Configure search to index: name, description, keywords, subTopic
  • Add fuzzy matching for typo tolerance
  • Implement search result highlighting
  • Add no results state with suggestions
  • Maintain existing filter compatibility
  • Test search performance with full lesson dataset
  • Add loading states if using async search

Recommended Approach

Start with Fuse.js (client-side, no API keys needed) for MVP simplicity.
