I will be stuck in low or no internet areas and having a way to save a whole website (such as a small community wiki or something) to browse while bored would be very nice. It’d be nice if its features like search could be kept working. Any suggestions for a Foss app that can do this?

You can download the website’s static files then (html, css, images, etc.) but features such as search won’t function if it works by querying some database.
Iirc most browsers have a way to make website’s available offline. I know chromium has it, but firefox does not. You’d probably need an extension for that. Or you can download the static files, store them in a directory manually and then open the index.html with firefox. That should work.
