Search results favour outdated versions of AWS documentation

sm

Steps to reproduce:

Search for: aws cdk s3 add Lifecycle Rule (or really any AWS CDK/API documentation).

You get offered the old, deprecated v1 documentation first, with the current version (v2) nowhere in the search results.

(e.g. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v1/docs/@aws-cdk_aws-s3.LifecycleRule.html)

Expected behaviour:

The current AWS CDK documentation at the top of the results.

e.g. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_s3.LifecycleRule.html

Kagi should be returning results similar to if you manually add v2 in the search query:

As a side note - is there any way to completely block a URI (but not the domain)?

If so, as a workaround I could block https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v1

As these are just the results that we get from our upstream indexes, there isn't a quick fix that we can do on Kagi's end that is both reliable & will scale to other documentation sources; this is a broader issue with other docs sites, and other search engines. But, if you have any ideas, we'd of course love to hear them.

We will be launching rewrite rules very soon that will allow this to be fixed at the user-level:

Thanks for the update z64 (and Vlad), looking forward to the rewrite update 😃
