Background
The issue was first described by Kevin Liu(@kevinjqliu) as a follow-up task in an email thread from 5/13/2026 Docs: Are duplicated results in search on iceberg.apache.org a bug or a feature? on Iceberg's dev mailing list. Related PRs: #16368, #16371.
Problem statement
Both the "Docs" tab on https://iceberg.apache.org/ and the search index currently point to
nightly(the most up-to-date documentation based on the main branch). This could be confusing if it includes changes that haven't been released yet. We would like to update both to link tolatest(the most recent release version) instead.Solution
nightlyandlatestin md files, as the resultlatestbecome the first expandable container on the top and it becomes a default landing version which is what we want.nightlyfrom a search index and leave justlatestas the only indexed version to align search with new default docs version.
