Rename index.md to index.html and change layout to home

For search create a new file on the site root foolder called search.json with this content:

---
---
[
  {% raw%}
  {% for post in site.posts %}
    {

      "title"    : "{{ post.title | strip_html | escape }}",
      "url"      : "{{ site.baseurl }}{{ post.url }}",
      "category" : "{{post.categories | join: ', '}}",
