Level of Difficulty
medium to high
This project will require someone to spend time understanding out the existing Search feature works, how plugins tie into the search, how the search class works.
Students will need to have experience to suggest how the ideas above would best be implemented and should likley do a proof of concept. Exploring how other tools provide search servics is a good approach to develop ideas.
Experience with User Interface design will benefit so that search implementation improvements can be made.
