x/pkgsite: search page redesign #47321
Description
This is the umbrella issue for an upcoming redesign of the search page on pkg.go.dev. Specific plans will be discussed via the issues below:
- x/pkgsite: group search by module #47320
- x/pkgsite: pageless search #47315
- x/pkgsite: support searching by <package>.<identifier> #44142
- x/pkgsite: search shortcut key doesn't work consistently across site #42704
The motivation for these changes were originally discussed in #41585.
Copied from the "Search page" section:
Search results are noisy:
- x/pkgsite: do not show packages of a module at the top level #37788
- x/pkgsite: searching for modules isn't supported #36814
- x/pkgsite: searching for "youtube" only show results for github.com/youtube/vitess #39525
The “latest” version for a search result can be confusing:
- x/pkgsite: search ranking ought to prioritize more recent major module versions #36969
- x/pkgsite: search results show incorrect latest version if the latest version of the module and package do not match #41108
- x/pkgsite: partial search doesn't return (any) matches which are "close" or latest #36806 (comment)
