Better search filtering #81

@robdodson commented on Wed Dec 02 2020

Currently we bucket search results into separate groups, docs and blog, which we then render.

Algolia is pretty aggressive about finding matches so even if you type the exact title for a blog post, it'll still be below several docs which "roughly" match. In this case it's actually offscreen and you have to scroll to it.

My hacky short term solution is to put blog posts (if there are any) before docs. But I'd like to come up with a better system (maybe aggressively filtering out results that only partially match). Algolia does have a matchLevel: 'full|partial|none' property that it sends back on all results, but frequently it says matchLevel: 'all' even for stuff that doesn't seem to be a perfect match, so I may need to dig a bit more.
