After releasing our new search, we received a few dozen emails asking for the old search back. In general, this is something we won't consider as we spend a good amount of time building new stuff like that. New things are (mostly) different and maybe need some time to get used to. But we heard you and we agree that a stellar search is crucial for a knowledge base.

We knew how to get the results we expected and were before, but it was not clear to many of you. That is a clear indicator that we didn't do our job – building a new and better search – good enough.

The old search is back, and even a little better than before

We spent the last days implementing the new old search the way we should have done in the first place. But it was a "quick fix" done in a hurry when we initially did it. It is now more maintainable for us, and brings more relevant search results to you and your users.

We apologize for the trouble some of you had and we appreciate the feedback.
