Piazza search (WiP)

[Sumukh]

Not ready for prime time but I would like to try this out in some 61A office hours

Known issues:

• On first load, the search ignores the description
• This probably should be it's own component.
• How do we disable this for other courses?

This needs to be sanitized

An idea on how to configure:

• Algolia search URL is set as a environment variable in deployment (in the future, a course-specific config option)
• In the state message (which happens on page load / reconnect), send the URL to the client
• If no URL is set, Piazza search is disabled

That way the client doesn't need to change between courses.

I think the popup after clicking a feedback button is pretty annoying. You could use addMessage to flash a message at the top instead.

Thanks - going to try this out in the 3-4pm office hours. I'll be there to observe (or rollback if needed)

I realized that this causes the buttons to jump around for the staff view. We should place the piazza search results below the buttons

Ran the experiment and found that it didn't have enough usage to be interesting. It's been removed from production.
