Goal
As a website visitor I would like to search the website for words and acronyms, and get a list of pages that contain those words and acronyms.
I was looking at https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/tree/76cab7fdbaf9b1d1e2a0ec47a14f29c11b30c1c4 and saw "SCIM integration tests" among the commit messages, so I became curious and wanted to learn more about how fleetdm uses SCIM. So I went to the site/documentation and searched for "SCIM", and found no pertinent result.
I then reverted to Google and found the right answer: that would've been this page https://fleetdm.com/docs/deploy/single-sign-on-sso#just-in-time-jit-user-provisioning, which is linked from this page: https://fleetdm.com/pricing/.
Basically, what happened is that the pricing page names SCIM but the linked SSO page doesn't, which fools search results algorithm.
Where we are
I got "results". But the "results" I got are not ranked by content hyperlinking, and they're completely unrelated to the search terms, their meaning and their relationship to other/broader concepts. They're not even related at orthographic level (SCIM vs simple, scams, and four all-caps letters are very likely an acronym). I would say the results have no intelligible relationship whatsoever.
How?
Please reconsider what Algolia is doing for you and me. It clearly doesn't "Show users what they need with AI search that understands them" as advertised on their website.
We've perfected computer-aided phonetic and semantic full-text search for decades, we've developed AI categorization for a quarter of a century, and I'm here complaining, because the most basic use of language is hampered. Or a simple byte-per-byte text comparison is unavailable as a feature. However you want to put it.
