I'm not sure if this is something the compose team has any influence over, and I think it's been mentioned in the channel before, but googling for Compose documentation is surprisingly difficult. I know the priority at this time is actually building the thing, not optimizing SEO, but it seems weird to me that the official docs are ranked so low that it's almost always easier to just go to the main site and search manually.

For example, I'm trying to find the API reference for

. The query
android jetpack compose "textfield"
returns these results:
Even going to the Android Developers website and using the built-in search only gives this (slightly different search query, but even more specific):
Finally, clicking on the suggestion to add the
site:
qualifier actually returns the page I'm looking for:
This happens with almost any query. Best case is sometimes the first search result is the package overview for the thing I'm looking for.

interesting reference
the anti-personalization DDG provides is a double edged blade with the chinese result, but seems to be showing these docs better
