I had this experience this morning with the search results. My goals was
to find the documentation on `on_delete`.
- I searched for `on_delete`:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/search/?q=on_delete
There were 10 results displayed on the first page, and 11 pages in total.
6 of those results were pre 2.x release notes.
The most promising result was result number 10: `Model instance
reference`. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/models/instances/
Model instance reference doesn't have anything for on_delete on it's page.
i.e. `Phrase not found` when searching
I think Django is helped by a good search system for their documentation.
Therefor, consider adding a ranking of sorts that ranks the documentation.
- release notes are helpful when they are recent
- pages that don't have the queried text on them is less helpful.
