NASA's Own Search Engine Cannot Find Its Important Stuff
If you use the search engine at https://t.co/XMMHKxgwON to find "astrobiology" the top link is a post from 2003. The actual official main link for @NASA's Astrobiology program is https://t.co/igd6rpgpkl Can't find it in the search results. But Google finds it. #astrobiology #NASA pic.twitter.com/Jsu74XtDPW

Keith’s note: Earlier this week I pointed out that a search for “education” on the NASA.gov website did not even find the main STEM Engagement Office link. So someone went in and modified the search results by hand. Then I mentioned that if you search for “science” you get “Planet 9” link but no mention of SMD. No one bothered to fix that. Now there is the results you get for a search for “astrobiology”. I wonder what happens when you search for “aeronautics” …
Guess what happens if you use the https://t.co/XMMHKxgwON search engine to look for "aeronautics"? No link in the top search results for the main aeronautics page or the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate. But Google finds this easily. @NASA #NASA #aeronautics pic.twitter.com/PxayzChwP7
