Kagi can return outdated results (older versions at top)

juxtapose

I noticed that Kagi can return outdated results for package documentation, etc. And it's quite annoying because there is no easy way to instruct Kagi to only find the latest version. And when Kagi can find the latest version, it is often not prioritized. Sort by recency doesn't help, either.

While I understand that the results are provided by external indexes, I hope that Kagi can sort and present the results better.

There are some examples. I encounter quite a lot of such situations in daily programming when searching for documentation.

Example 1: virtio spec
Version 1.1 is the first result, while 1.3 is more up to date.

Example 1 (sorted by recency): virtio spec
Sorting by recency doesn't help.

Example 2: virtio inflight i/o
For this search, 1.3 didn't even show up.

Example 3: haskell lens Traversal

This result is unsatisfactory:

In this search, 3 versions of lens is provided (and there is a mysterious result linking to hackage search): 4.13, 2.3, and 5.2.3. None of them are latest (5.3.5).
The top result is not precise. It simply links to the current version of doc but does not link to the place I wanted. (Acceptable, considering the results are from external indexes.)

I expect Kagi to prioritize the latest version.

Sadly there's not really much we can do here, at least at the moment. There's not really a way to programmatically detect this. You might have some luck using URL redirects. We're looking to work a bit on our index that might lead to some improvements in this regard.
