Search is at the core of our doc portal experience: your users need to easily find what they're looking for, as it's a key part of their API discovery.

We recently completely rebuilt it to make it more relevant, faster, and more reliable.

### Relevance
- We now display a single list of results instead of several categories: users mostly look for operations, so displaying properties and other content "by default" didn't always make sense.
- That global result list is ordered based on how closely the query matches a result item, and on its type. For example, for the same result weight, an operation will be favored over a property,
- The depth of a result is also taken into consideration to calculate its relevance, because we know that a first-level property is generally more important (and therefore searched) than a deep property,
- We removed the 5 results per type limit and now return all relevant results.

### Usability
- Typos are now better managed and processed to return relevant results,
- The result item hierarchy has been reworked to increase readability.

### Performance
On average, search speed has been increased by a factor of 7. This is particularly visible on larger hubs and complex documentations, moving from almost a second to a few hundred milliseconds.

*New search: in this example, the search request takes 43 ms.*

*Old search: in this example, the search request takes 306 ms.*

Just a small suggestion: would that make sense to create a single gif with the two animations side by side, for a better comparison?
