Interesting... if I google for "edismax solr" (I usually specify a product name when searching for doc by feature name to avoid irrelevant hits) the old wiki comes up as #1 and new doc as #2, but if I search for "edismax" alone (which I normally wouldn't do out of a desire to limit matches to the desired product) the new ref guide does indeed show up as #1 and the old wiki as #2.
I'm not enough of an SEO expert to know how to de-boost the old wiki other than outright deletion. I'm guessing it's due to a lot of inbound links, maybe mostly from references in old emails. In any case, a proper tombstone is probably the best step at this point. -- Jack Krupansky On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 10:39 AM, Jack Krupansky <jack.krupan...@gmail.com> wrote: > It is indeed a problem that the old edismax wiki is result #1 from Google. > I find that annoying as well since I also use Google search as my first > step in accessing doc on everything. > > -- Jack Krupansky > > On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 10:03 AM, <jimi.hulleg...@svensktnaringsliv.se> > wrote: > >> Thanks Shawn, >> >> I had more or less assumed that the cwiki site was focused on the latest >> Solr version, but never really noticed that the "reference guide" was >> available in version-specific releases.
