Yes, you are right. Maintaining a JS on org-mode could be a bad idea. My main concerns with this third solution was more about:
* What if we also add a search capability in Org-mode and not only in HTML exported pages ? * Do we have a search on the whole site directly from each page, or on a dedicated page ? For the second point, it's a question I ask myself since multiple days. From a user experience, is it better to have the search engine accessible directly from each page or in a dedicated page.
