This is my experience of trying the search capability.

 * I know I want to read about dataframes (I was reading this 10
   minutes ago but browsing history didn't take me back to where I wanted)
 * I search for "dataframes"
 * I am presented with a whole load of pages that are elsewhere (other
   sites) - maybe what I want is some pages below, but I stop at this
   point as I think its a fundamental failure of what I expect from the
   search dialogue
 * If I enter "beam.apache.org: dataframe" to the search dialogue then
   the sensible relevant page is now visible, only 5 links down
 * I know this may be a penalty of getting a "free" search service from
   your viewpoint
 * But from my viewpoint this is a failure. Your search capability
   fails to understand that by searching for something on your site,
   rather than generically through a search engine, I am massively
   predisposed to the pages on your site, whereas the search results
   are more predisposed to offering advertising opportunities.
 * It is very frustrating that something as simple as, on the Beam
   site, going to the page about Beam Dataframes takes such a level of
   hoop jumping

That is my feedback offering. Thank you for taking the time to read it.
