Help: HTML documentation search results poorly ordered by Sphinx 5.2.0+
The CMake 3.27 (EDIT: any version) CMake documentation search page built with Sphinx 5.2.0+ orders results poorly for search terms matching index entries. All index entries are returned with high scores, even non-main entries corresponding to arbitrary cross-references, thus obscuring more relevant results.
This was discovered by discussion on discourse.
EDIT: Now reported as Sphinx Issue 11578.
