Searching unique on website suggests page that does not exist

[drozd-A]

When searching for "unique" on https://fakerjs.dev/, a suggestion is provided that seems to suggest there's a documentation page called "Unique". When I click on this suggestion, it takes me to the 404 page.

I can confirm that this bug exists 👍

I tried to fix the error, but the new faker.helpers.unique method doesn't show up.

[ST-DDT]

The bug still exists. Should we just remove the search or is there anybody that would like to investigate this?

So this uses a third party search right https://github.com/algolia/algoliasearch-client-javascript

How does it work, does it provide any way like a web dashboard to configure it and inspect your search index?

[ST-DDT]

Yes, we already removed the unique from there but it seems to be back.
I assume that either the next or v7/v6 branches bleed into the main side search index wise.

[matthewmayer]

How does Algolia get the data? Does it scrape the public web? Can you specify which domains and subdomains it scrapes?

[matthewmayer]

The search index in general seems outdated. For example if you search for fullname it returns the old name module not person.

Well, if you search for iban (which is new), it shows that as well. So its more of a pollution than being outdated.

[matthewmayer]

iban has been there since 4.0.0

isbn is new and doesn't appear in search.

[ST-DDT]

Ups 😳 . Mental typo.

Team decision

• Create search index per major version + next
