#15242 closed Cleanup/optimization (duplicate)

Description

Documentation page titles are in general good and tend to contain things I'm searching for. As an example searching for "model field reference" will currently result in the page with that title appearing 12th. Whereas in a Google search it is the first result. Even putting the search term in quotes results in it coming 4th.

Offhand I'm not sure how much control we have over the machinery of that search engine. While I agree that it could certainly do better, it may not be possible without replacing it with a completely different tool. I'm not an expert on the djangoproject.com backend, though, so someone else will have to weigh in on this ticket as well.

It's not a docs issue, though, so I'm re-categorizing it.

We (potentially) have a lot more control now than we did previously -- we're now hosting our own search. This should be something we should be able to tweak. And if our current setup doesn't allow us to tweak it, then we should be looking for an alternative that will.

I think we can keep only one ticket for improving search results relevancy, so I'll close this one as a dupe of #16011.
