JED returns bad results.
Hello,
Looks like the JED Finder is not working properly (https://extensions.joomla.org/instant-search/). I tried with a few keywords but the results returned were not as expected

Re: JED returns bad results.
Please give us one or two examples because a quick test shows that the search finds relevant extensions all right.

Re: JED returns bad results.
The video link gets mangled by the spam filter of the forum.
You are right. The JED search does not find 'easysocial' or 'easy social' at all, which is strange. As if the extension has disappeared, which is not the case at all.
If you search 'easysocial' in Google or Bing, both the home page of the extension and its JED entry are listed in the top three hits.

Re: JED returns bad results.
The error may come from the search service algolia.com/
I hope the JED Team will fix this bug soon. Thanks!

Re: JED returns bad results.
It is discussed in JED internal forum already. Hopefully will end up with a resolution. Algolia integration is quaking, the only sure thing I can tell right now.

Re: JED returns bad results.
It is known for a long time that the algolia search is not working very well.
Also the way it sorts the returned results does not seem to be fair.
@webgobe would like to be part of that forum if possible. Already attended some meetings about the new JED.

Re: JED returns bad results.
I passed the request to our team leader. The forum is for JED members only, can't add you directly. But search in Mattermost the groups named Operations Department Extensions Directory Discussions and Operations Department Extensions Directory 4 and ask for access - we are always in need of new manpower You are welcome to join!

Re: JED returns bad results.
JED Search is now working again. Something wiped the algolia storage down to 256 entries. I have run an update and there are now 6,500 entries. Please do let me know if anyone finds any missing.
Thanks

Re: JED returns bad results.
Thank you, @mfleeson! After your reply EasySocial, the extension that was missing from search results and started this topic, came up all right but right now it has again disappeared.
Many other extensions pop up correctly in the AJAX search but there are exceptions like OSMap that brings up HikaShop!
