Tiny feedback: I kinda liked search in old doc: it provided more context (not just tiny area with results) and some classification for the returned result (e.g. tutorial or reference). Also "What's new" is always on top, but I'm expecting fundamental references to be more related for my search in language reference most of the time

Hi @dector. Thank you for your feedback. We are going to improve search later, including relevance. So your feedback is important for us. Have you tried the Full search in new docs? It provides results with text abstracts but without classification. Could you please describe how you use the classification such as reference and tutorial so that we could support it in the best way in new docs? Here is the Full search:

Yup, I'm opening full search almost all the time. For example, when I'm searching for exceptions handling I might type: "try catch". It's third link here:
Would be nice to have: • Language reference first • Some tutorials, examples or short demo-projects second • News / updates after that (But it's just my suggestion) 🙂
It might be also nice to have references to related samples, codelabs etc for language topics where they are available.
