v1.1.0

Core Features & Improvements

• Improved Pagefind's core result ranking algorithm to align with BM25. For existing sites, this will change the ordering of search results, and should provide better relevance for search results by default.
• Added the abitity to configure Pagefind's ranking algorithm.
  • Certain categories of site (i.e. reference documentation) can benefit from tweaks to the way pages are ranked. To support this, a set of ranking parameters are now configurable. Enormous thanks to @dscho for kicking off this work in #534 ❤️
  • See 📘 Customize ranking to read up on the new ranking parameters.

• Added an openFilters setting to the Default UI. See 📘 UI > Open filters. Thanks to @vanbroup for #579 ❤️
