Thanks for your feedback. At the time, using a Google website search was a simplest solution since, before, we didn’t have a search at all. I agree that it could be frustrating to have ad links before the actual results (not sure that we can avoid them there) but "it is what it is” and it's still possible to have the correct links further which is better than nothing.
Beam community is always welcome for suggestions and, especially, contributions to improve the project in any possible way. I’d be happy to assist on this topic if someone will decide to improve Beam website search. — Alexey > On 3 Oct 2022, at 23:21, Borris <bor...@chaos.org.uk> wrote: > > This is my experience of trying the search capability. > > I know I want to read about dataframes (I was reading this 10 minutes ago but > browsing history didn't take me back to where I wanted) > I search for "dataframes" > I am presented with a whole load of pages that are elsewhere (other sites) - > maybe what I want is some pages below, but I stop at this point as I think > its a fundamental failure of what I expect from the search dialogue > If I enter "beam.apache.org: dataframe" to the search dialogue then the > sensible relevant page is now visible, only 5 links down > I know this may be a penalty of getting a "free" search service from your > viewpoint > But from my viewpoint this is a failure.
