Change log

Mar 26, 2026: Switched Search to semantic retrieval over curated page metadata, checklists, and structured summaries, backed by an incremental embedding index builder.
Feb 07, 2026: Proofread and expanded Search page copy: clearer explanation of how search works, more troubleshooting, more example queries, and a deeper FAQ (no search logic changes).
Feb 06, 2026: Expanded Search page into a full navigation guide with recommended queries, direct internal links to pillars and tools, and “what to do if you can’t find it” routing.
