The problem I aim to solve is the inefficiency in searching for specific Scala code information, particularly within Scaladoc documentation. Currently, developers often face challenges navigating external websites or manually sifting through code. To address this issue, I propose to integrate Scaladoc search functionality into Protosearch, a documentation search tool. By leveraging existing data structures and indexing/querying mechanisms in Protosearch, I plan to develop a Scaladoc Parsing Module to extract relevant metadata from Scaladoc comments and an Indexing Module to organize and store Scaladoc content for efficient search operations. The deliverables of this project include: 1. Scala Doc Parsing Module: Develop a module to access Scaladoc data in a structured way using tools like Scalameta 2. Scala Doc Indexing Module: Create a module to process and index Scaladoc content into Protosearch's existing data structures 3. User Interface Enhancements: Design and implement user interface enhancements within Protosearch to support Scaladoc search functionality, ensuring a seamless and intuitive search experience for developers. 4. Comprehensive Documentation: Document the implementation details, usage, and maintenance of the Scaladoc search feature, providing clear instructions for developers on how to utilize the functionality within Protosearch.
