When I search on Meltano's site, I immeditly cry and now I've set my default link to be docs.meltano.com , maybe that's on purpose for seo? 🧵

Trying to find metadata docs for using meltano, I type this and get blog articles
Next, ok try to get to the docs, I go to Resources -> Documentaiton I get https://meltano.com/documentation-overview/
See all docs button ☀️

This isn’t an uncommon paradigm. docs.getdbt.com docs.hex.tech docs.gitlab.com are all distinct sites from their marketing sites.

Maybe this is what's wanted and I should just bookmark docs.meltano.com 😄

I really want to add a !meltano short cut to duckduckgo to search docs. But need to update https://docs.meltano.com/search to accept a query param.

Yeah we weren't able to keep the docs on meltano.com without taking them out of version control which was less than ideal

I did not add context to all of this, sorry! The website itself looks great, this is a workflow I had baked into my head for finding docs with Meltano that I think I just need to change my workflow for. Not a big deal to change the workflow on my end to docs.meltano.com

Yep just a little pouting fit from me, I have to contain myself I'm sorry, I apologize! I think I relish a bit too much being a user, need to add more empathy, I'll work on it 2 ideas from me neither of which may be any good 1. When searching if it doesn't make sense to have docs be included in the search maybe a little hint under the search results that say "Want to search our docs instead?" click here 2. Move the see all docs button up under the "if you're ready to get started with meltano yo'uve come to the right place" (No scrolling needed is my request) Both of which are moot for me if I just remember to go to docs.meltano.com

Those are great ideas! I've gone ahead and made an issue here: https://gitlab.com/meltano/marketing/website/-/issues/10
