Strip routed framework/version tokens from the search query text#398
Merged
Conversation
When a query names a framework/version, we route on it (framework filter in transformItems, version facet rewrite) but previously left the token in the query text sent to Algolia. That platform word skewed textual relevance - e.g. "barcode capture flutter" lifted /sdks/flutter/agent-skills/ (which lists frameworks) above /sdks/flutter/barcode-capture/get-started/. Strip the detected framework tokens (and the version marker when it routes) from the query text only. Routing is unchanged - it's still derived from the original query (latestQueryRef and versionTagInQuery both read the original); only the text Algolia scores against differs, so the product's main guide surfaces instead of a framework-listing page. Keep the original query if the strip would empty it (e.g. a lone "ios"). Verified before/after on the framework/version query set: get-started and product intro pages now rank first where framework-listing / release-notes pages did before.
