Filter for versions is incomplete

[maddy2101]

I searched for a string, got a ton of results, and each has the corresponding version strings applied. Great!

But looking into the sidebar for filters to narrow down the result, I find not all versions from the search result list are available here.

Hi @maddy2101
Right now we're showing only first 10 buckets with highest number of found documents.
Seems that v10.4 had less than 52 documents found, so it was not in the top 10 Versions.
I can of course increase the number of versions shown, but this will not solve the problem (you might have 100 version shown).

Perhaps it's possible to add additional buckets only for the main versions, so that subversions could be ignored?

Aggregate on the major version has been done but it's still not sufficient:

The top hits versions are so rare they are not showing up in the navigation.

I see two paths here:

• Increase the number of versions shown (or even add a "see more" button to unfold a bigger list)
• Try to change the way versions are ordered - we could for example use the documents average score per bucket to sort them instead of using the number of documents ; it's not common and there is no guaranty it will solve the problem.

we should by default only search in the current elts versions for the Core versions. However third party extensions have their own system of versions. We probably have to split the index and not treat core versions like extension versions. And then there are the versions in the changelog which should not be filtered by only elts versions, as changelog entries of all versions should be visible by default

We might be able to reduce the number of versions shown for third party extensions by default by filtering them by their supported TYPO3 versions...

Ordering the versions by "main" then descending + a button to "see more versions" would be fine IMHO
