This update brings big improvements to how Nova Search finds, organizes, and ranks information, including a brand-new SuperIndexing feature that helps verified sites surface faster and smarter.
β‘ New Feature: SuperIndexing (BETA)
Introducing SuperIndexing, a new system designed to enhance the visibility of verified and deeply indexed websites.
What it does:
-
Adds a SuperIndexing service layer that checks and tracks which URLs are fully indexed.
-
Uses deep sitemap crawling to improve relevance and accuracy.
-
Tracks crawl jobs and page indexing status for better coverage.
How it works:
-
SuperIndexed results now get a 1.5x ranking boost across both the Web and All tabs.
-
A purple star badge marks SuperIndexed results, with a hover tooltip: βSuperIndexing (Beta)β.
π§ Nova Tab (Internal Search)
The Nova Tab now supports a unified internal search system across all apps:
-
Documents β Nova Editor
-
Gists β Nova Gists
-
Events β Nova Calendar
-
To-Do Lists β Nova Calendar
-
Forms β Nova Editor
-
Conversations β Astro
This rearchitecture makes in-suite search faster, more reliable, and consistent across your Nova data.
π€ Astro Overview Fix
-
Fixed visibility logic so Astro Overviews display correctly based on the βShow in Search Resultsβ setting (not βEnable Astro AIβ).
-
Improved internal state handling by separating
astroShowInSearch(visibility) fromastroEnabled(AI toggle).
π Search Results Improvements
Search results are now smarter, more consistent, and easier to interpret.
Ranking & Scoring:
-
Added
sortByRelevanceSync()for client-side scoring (no boost). -
Added
applySuperIndexingBoost()for server-side scoring with boosts. -
Both Web and All tabs now share the same unified ranking logic.
Display Updates:
-
Search results now default to sync scoring for smoother UI performance.
-
Added a SuperIndexed badge (purple star) with tooltip information.
-
Removed redundant re-sorting on the All tab to preserve SuperIndexing boosts.
-
Ensured complete parity with the Web tabβs ranking system.
Nova Search 25U11.2 makes search faster, more intelligent, and visually clearer, laying the groundwork for deeper indexing, smarter AI integration, and stronger internal connectivity across Nova Suite.
