Nova Search v5.3.0

This release makes Nova Search sharper on the inside and smoother on the outside. From a brand-new relevance system to mobile layout fixes, here’s everything new:

🔍 Smarter Search Results

We’ve introduced smart relevance guessing to improve how results are ordered. Our new algorithm scores and sorts based on:

  • Titles (highest weight)

  • Descriptions (medium weight)

  • URLs (lower weight)

  • Exact vs. partial matches

  • Filtering out common words to focus on meaningful terms

  • Bonus points for exact keyword matches

The algorithm is fully integrated into our smart layout system, so your results are still neatly organized, but now ranked in a way that feels more natural and useful.

📱 Mobile Experience Upgrades

  • Fixed an issue where Astro Overviews wouldn’t open on mobile.

  • Wikipedia Knowledge panels now collapse by default with a simple “expand” button for more reading.

  • Home page layout on mobile has been cleaned up for a much smoother look.

  • Added a scroll modal and redesigned header to give browsing a cleaner, more consistent feel.

📰 News Tab Improvements

  • Articles in the News tab now display a Reliable Source tag, so you can quickly identify trustworthy content.

🎨 Design & UI Tweaks

  • Made icons bigger across the app for better readability and accessibility.

⚡ Nova Search is now smarter, sharper, and more reliable: especially on mobile.
