This was quite the adventure to figure out. I worked with the maintainer of Pagefind in the meantime, to add better controls regarding how much impact various dimensions should have on the search results. And I am happy to report that the fruit of these labors is now available to all, in the form of Pagefind v1.1.1.

I have integrated this into https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/pull/1804.

Ciao, Johannes
