Consider ranking the documentation search results

[Roland van Laar]

I had this experience this morning with the search results. My goals was to find the documentation on on_delete.

• I searched for on_delete: ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/search/?q=on_delete

There were 10 results displayed on the first page, and 11 pages in total.
6 of those results were pre 2.x release notes.

The most promising result was result number 10: Model instance reference. ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/models/instances/

Model instance reference doesn't have anything for on_delete on it's page.
i.e. Phrase not found when searching

I think Django is helped by a good search system for their documentation.
Therefor, consider adding a ranking of sorts that ranks the documentation.

• release notes are helpful when they are recent
• pages that don't have the queried text on them is less helpful.

Thanks for this ticket, however it's rather an issue in the djangoproject.com not in Django itself. You can open a new issue ​there.
