x/pkgsite: searching by smartcontractkit and chainlink does not show github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink

[x448]

There's a fairly active Go project on GitHub that's not found on go.dev so there might be others.

smartcontractkit/chainlink has 6 releases this year, 42 contributors, and 9,372 commits.

Just a hunch: could this be related to the project install using git clone instead of go get?

What did you expect to see?

smartcontractkit/chainlink existing on go.dev.

What did you see instead?

smartcontractkit/chainlink is not found in go.dev.

Are you sure? There it is: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink?tab=subdirectories

OP probably meant the search results: https://pkg.go.dev/search?q=chainlink or https://pkg.go.dev/search?q=smartcontractkit

If this issue is about search results, it seems to be related to supporting fuzzy matching in search. See also #37783 and #36806.

Some more info -- in the Versions tab, only 1 entry is shown for smartcontractkit/chainlink:

v0.0.0 (425bc20) – Jan 24, 2019

But they released v0.6.0 - v0.6.10 and v0.7.0 - v0.7.6, so nearly 20 releases are missing.

Also, libraries imported by them in those missing versions don't have them counted as an importer so those other projects are affected indirectly by this.

I didn't notice anything odd about their release version naming convention.

I believe this is because the module path they put in their go.mod file is chainlink, not github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink.

Oh wow, that was freaky, I was on this page about to cut/paste that error from my command line and your screenshot showed up! 👍

Also my comment from #37801 (comment) is inaccurate. This isn't related to fuzzy matching, it is related to searching by subpaths, which we do support. I would have expected these searches to work:

• https://pkg.go.dev/search?q=smartcontractkit
• https://pkg.go.dev/search?q=chainlink
• https://pkg.go.dev/search?q=smartcontractkit%2Fchainlink

Will investigate.
