Search results on hub.docker.com no longer relevant

Hello Docker Team!

We use Docker (and Docker Hub) to share our open source work with the community for several years (BTW, thanks for your great work!).

I went back from holidays a couple of days ago and the results given for a research on hub.docker.com are no longer relevant.

Until a couple of weeks ago, a simple search with the single word “orthanc” was returning a list of Docker images which was more or less like that:

  • 4 to 5 “biocontainers” images (like https://hub.docker.com/r/biocontainers/orthanc-postgresql), I don’t know nothing about these images, I assume that the “OSS sponsoring” make them first in the list, but users can see that there are no longer maintained and there are not a lot of pulls.
  • osimis/orthanc image which was the “official” Orthanc image till the beginning of 2024
  • orthancteam/orthanc image which is the new “official” Orthanc image
  • some other images, from us or from other users…

This was fine to us, I would have been happy to see these “biocontainers” images at the bottom of the list, but that’s not a true problem.

Today, the same simple research give this:

As you can see, the first images in the list are some images related to Thanos and so on (and still the biocontainers ones), osimis/orthanc being at the 8th place and the “official” orthancteam/orthanc image at the rank 23!

So I’m wondering, is there a change in the algo behind the research button?
Or is it a bug somewhere?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Regards,

I get an image from “atlas” as first and then 4 of your biocontainer images. Bitnami is not even on the first page, but it is when I search without logging in. I don’t know what the search reault depends on. You could ask about it on GitHub

What a reactivity!
Thanks, I’ll fill an issue on GitHub…

Me too. The results just seem to be random stuff…

I tried to search again, and I know that the search term does not have to be in the image name, but in this case, I could not find it in the description either, so I can’t explain the search results.
It seems @sleig opened an issue here

I commented now. You can add your comments too.
