Q&A

Welcome to Codidact Meta!

Codidact Meta is the "town hall" (meta-discussion site) for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

Searching fails to show almost exact match as the first result.

I was wondering where presence (or absence) of "Hot Network Questions" analogue for Codidact is discussed, but was surprised by the seeming lack of the discussion on meta.codidact.com when searching for "hot network questions".

Actually there is a relevant question, it's just searching failed to reveal it high enough. I think search should reveal that post as a solid first result.

Here are current results for the search:

  • What information should be displayed on a network profile?
  • Let's improve how we manage proposals for new communities
  • Getting a gaming community of Codidact [closed]
  • Giving a fish vs. teaching how to fish
  • What information should be displayed on a network profile? (again?)
  • (3 other irrelevant posts)
  • Can I view questions across multiple sites (or the entire network) on a single page? (a relevant post I'd expect to be the second search result)
  • (two more irrelevant and one relevant result)
  • Hot Network Questions like feature? (13-th result which I expected to be the first)

For comparison, DuckDuckGo shows the following first two results for "codidact Hot Network Questions":

Kagi shows the expected Meta post as the first result.


I think searching should be either significantly improved or users should be directed to use external search, as failing to find a relevant result may lead to needless creation of duplicate questions.


Previous relevant posts:

I see "status-completed" tag on both of those posts. Does it mean the problem has re-appeared?
