Hide theme search wrapper; render DocSearch button styled like the theme. – Inject #docsearch next to the original wrapper – Style DocSearch button for similar look & feel – Keyboard shortcuts (/ and Cmd/Ctrl+K), deferred init, prefill – Keep DocSearch params in config; enable theme search for header slot This is a proof of concept; visual polish and template-friendly integration still needed.

This PR replaces the theme’s built-in search UI with Algolia DocSearch as a proof of concept. The existing theme search wrapper is hidden, and a DocSearch trigger is rendered in the header and styled to resemble the previous input. Functionally, it opens the DocSearch modal and supports common shortcuts (/ and Cmd/Ctrl+K). Initialization is made resilient with deferred loading and prefill logic.
Why
I was frustrated by the limited quality of the current client-side search in our documentation. This PoC demonstrates a working DocSearch integration that can be refined visually and made cleaner in terms of templating.
