These are available in other tools and are also demonstrated in my POC.

This is a deliberate position I am taking in my POC.

I believe this is a solveable problem.  It is on my list to do a POC of
as soon as I can.

Today the Fedora Docs site doesn't feature search.  I believe a solution
that can move us ahead should not be penalized if it doesn't provide
search.  Search has not, as far as I know, been identified as a core
problem with our site that is inhibiting contribution.

I presume you mean Zanata.  My POC and other tools can use Zanata.
