Issue

Currently, it links to https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#chap-quick-start, which is not a good place to be. It's just confusing and makes a user want to switch tabs and not help.

Solution Ideas

So given that we can't do anything about the manual as it's not in the scope of this repository, we either need to:

  • restructure .search-no-results to include the links, I see two avenues:
  • an accordion onClick can be used to mimic the current look

  • an interactive experience that replaces the text entirely with a choice of two buttons

  • use a modal to provide a more concise list of outlinks, I see two avenues:
  • use a popup of some kind

  • use an intermediary page separate/different from the manual

Urgency

I won't pretend like it's a 'nice-to-have' because it's definitely at least of moderate urgency assuming multiple levels of 'URGENT'
