Bug #20722

closed

curious search result order on docs.ruby-lang.org

Added by masterleep2 (Bill Lipa) about 2 months ago. Updated 3 days ago.

Description

If you search for "String" on https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/3.3/ the first four results returned are obscure:

  1. Gem::SafeMarshal::Elements::String
  2. Prism::StringFlags
  3. Prism::StringNode
  4. Reline::Terminfo::StringWithTiparm
  5. String

Would it be possible to change it so that if one types an exact class name, the class of that name is first on the list? This would make it easier to use the search feature. More generally, the prioritization of these results is surprising.

Not sure if this is the right place to report a doc website issue. Apologies if not.
