Description
Notes:
- This will be managed by a specific app,
- Website/Page will be identified by Sitemap,
- Crawling of a sub-page will be based on a local configuration regarding the allowed numbers of hop if the linked page is hosted locally (same domain), on a different subdomain, or on a completely different domains,
- External content have no id within Nextcloud's database, also the crawling of a single address can returns multiple document.
Tasks:
- Allowing an app to directly reach the used Search Platform (fulltextsearch_elasticsearch) without passing through the FullTextSearch index table (core)
- Crawling website and sub-pages (app),
- Extracting content and meta-data for each page (app),
- indexing content and meta-data (app),
- Searching and Advanced Searching within content and metadata (core+app),
- Result should link to the right page (app, might need some work in core to force opening on a different tab)

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests; begin by tracing the core FullTextSearch index-table path and the fulltextsearch_elasticsearch platform, then identify the app entry points for sitemap crawling. Done means external pages and sub-pages are crawled, content and metadata are indexed and searchable, and results link to the correct page.
