Search front-end
As of 2023-02, some great work is ongoing to make the Manticore Search support great, while maintaining the current good support for other engines. So our back-end search is mature, but what about the front-end? It is pretty basic and we can do a lot better.
As per How to pick a software library, let's research options.
