Page internal search shows external results

Open svrnm opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

When I run a search on opentelemetry.io I get results that lead me away from the website, e.g.

https://opentelemetry.io/search/?q=milliseconds

shows me results for the Microsoft Learn page via redirects in the .NET documentation.

This is not what end-user expect, so we need to fix that in our search engine.

There are 2 options:

  • Check if we can update the config for the integrated google search to fix that
  • Switch out the search engine (which comes with some other advantages making it potentially a worthwhile effort)

we should probably set up a new custom search engine under the [email protected] domain. i can't access the old one because it's under my lightstep.com email

@chalin What solutions do other CNCF sites use?

let's do that as a first step and then check if alternatives are required

FYI, I updated the GCS engine via https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io/pull/4711

A variety of solutions, but I believe / get the impression that Google Search is what is used most often. Some projects prefer offline search solutions, others prefer Algolia.
