Issue: "Last Updated" column shows dates much more recent than reality
Recommended Fix: Pull data for that column from a more accurate source
In this edit released on a patch-level semver bump, types were removed from the @truffle/contract package.
To update a now-broken project that used those types (even if they were wrong), I went looking in the search for typed packages here, and found some results:

The last two just before the screen cutoff look relevant. It also looks like they were reasonably recently updated - just 5-7 months ago. However, clicking through to the npm pages listed here and here respectively show that these packages haven't been maintained in 3-4 years respectively.
TypeScript's search results page thus demonstrates itself to be untrustworthy in a way that makes maintained typing package availability appear easier to find than it really is. This combines with other false statements about the ease of switching over which call the rest of the site contents and value of TS into more question than it would be without this false data being presented.
