This search should obviously return the official Docker Hub Redis image, https://hub.docker.com/_/redis, but it’s just a bunch of blogs.

On DuckDuckGo the first result is the Docker Hub image, which is what everyone would want.

    But couldnt they active their brain during development? Or have for the big websites that have something special a special case?

    for example on docker you dont want ugly Blogs from them you want the images if you ask for docker IMAGENAME. They know the path paterns /ORG/IMAGENAME.

    If you have issues then you will query docker how to use IMAGENAME or similar then the blog would be perfect. Otherwise useless information.

      your taking your human level domain specific knowledge of a specific site structure - and generalizing it to a search engine. How is the search engine going to know the best result to give you?

      If a search is for docker NAME image so google shows users

      • A - blog talking about NAME image from Docker.com taking users step by step
      • B - direct link to the hub.docker.com for IMAGE with nothing else, but the download page

      Which result is going to get more terminal, and high quality clicks from searchers?

      Realizing that many of the people who are using docker daily are either going to already go to the hub directly, or do site:hub.docker.com in some quick search bar

      The population of searchers who find the A result more beneficial is probably higher then the B result, most people prefer step by step instructions and some hand holding when searching. The pros who have a groove and rythem, I suspect, have more direct ways to get what they want.

      While google can improve, i’m not seeing this as gore, the relevant result this user wanted was the 5th link, and the first 2 links both got them there as well.

        Probably to lookup what are the possible environment vars for the container.
