govuk-chat: Which GOV.UK Content is used in Chat Search?

The configuration for which GOV.UK Content is indexed in GOV.UK Chat Search index is in config/search.yml.

To present a list of just the document types used we have a rake task:

rake search:print_document_types

which will output just a list of the document types, which is useful for stakeholders who struggle with schemas.

This task can be passed an argument of ANNOTATED=true to output annotations further config details while still anchoring the list around document types.

rake search:print_document_types ANNOTATED=true
