Search Provides Dead Links in Search Results

Hi Search team! :wave:

I’ve been loving the search so far, but I came across a peculiar defect.

When I search nx generate node library, I get a number of expected search results, from the docs pages for the nx framework:

However, when I click either of these results, it takes me to a page that returns a 500 error:

However, there aren’t any actual problems with the nx.dev domain. When I perform the same search on Google:

and click the search result with the same name, I’m taken to the expected Docs page.

Here are the 2 URLs that the search results return:

Brave: https://nx.dev/latest/angular/node/library
Google: https://nx.dev/packages/node/generators/library

I haven’t encountered this issue for any other domains, so it could be a fluke in the spooky voodoo that software development often feels like, but it seemed worth documenting in case the dev team wanted to take a look.

Thanks for all your hard work, and take care!
