Testing guidance

Step-by-step instructions on how to test this change

Indexing
- Do profiles get indexed on (re)publish
  - Do pages that don't render (due to all invalid callouts) not get indexed
- Do profiles get indexed by indexPagesToAlgolia
  - Do pages that don't render (due to all invalid callouts) not get indexed
- Do profiles get the correct featured image indexed
Searching
- Do country profiles show up in the results
  - When a country filter is applied and R&W is shown
  - When a country filter is applied and query text exists
  - Not when only a topic filter is applied
- Do country profiles show up in the autocomplete
  - When a country is typed
  - When a topic is typed
- Are clicks tracked in GA?

Lifted this out of AlgoliaSource so that it can be reused by createProfileSource

submitting partial review, still pondering over the use of extractFiltersFromQuery in Autocomplete

Besides those inline comments, we're going need some updates (either here or in #6103) to get profiles to use the new indexing pipeline (vs the markdown)

baker/algolia/utils/pages.ts


 const getThumbnailUrl = (
-    gdoc: OwidGdocPostInterface | OwidGdocDataInsightInterface,
+    gdoc: OwidGdocBaseInterface,


we could keep a tighter type here to benefit maintain compile type checking

adminSiteServer/apiRoutes/gdocs.ts

we should delete profile records in deleteGdoc too

we might want to either add support for profiles in getPreviewGdocIndexRecords or update the message that says "not indexed" (maybe something the lines of "profiles are not supported in preview mode currently")

site/search/SearchWritingResults.tsx

+        queryFn: (liteSearchClient, state, offset, length) => {
+            return queryProfiles(liteSearchClient, state, offset, length)
+        },
+        firstPageSize: 4,


this throws off the display of the topic/profile section, which should render - for instance, in the absence of articles - no more than 6 boxes (e.g. "china" + co2 now renders 8).

True! Looking into this, I'm not sure it's working as intended?

I thought I could fix this issue by writing (pseudocode):

const profiles = profilesQuery(size: 2) slotsLeft = 6 - Math.min(profiles.totalResults, 2) const articles = articlesQuery(size: 2) slotsLeft -= Math.min(articles.TotalResults, 2) const topicPages = topicQuery(size: slotsLeft)

but topicPages is always fetching 6, so I think in the current (production) code, noArticles is probably not working correctly, either?

If no articles are returned (e.g. "co2" + tag:china)

requests 2 articles (gets none) and consequently fetches 6 topic pages.

If articles are returned (e.g. "co2"), then only 2 topic pages are fetched initially, then 4.

So that works as expected as far as I can tell.

And the interleaving logic makes sure than the amount of topics vs articles is always balanced in the multi column layout (e.g. if there were 2 articles and 10 topics total for a query, then most topics would end up in the overflow).

nice, thanks for the integration! Nothing major but there are a couple of things we might to look at before merging.

site/search/SearchWritingResults.tsx

            return queryArticles(liteSearchClient, state, offset, length)
        },
-        firstPageSize: 2,
+        firstPageSize: 4 - profileSlots,


Freeze article page sizing before running paginated query

When showProfiles is true, profileSlots is 0 on the first render, so the articles query starts with firstPageSize=4; once profiles load, firstPageSize drops (to 2/3), but the React Query key is unchanged, so the existing infinite-query pages are reused with a different offset formula. That mismatch can produce duplicated/skipped article hits on fetchNextPage and overfill the first results block whenever profiles exist.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
