[scanner] Search index strips intraword underscores, so snake_case/ENV_VAR terms are unsearchable #451

Closed

Description

@hivecommons-hive

Where: src/app/api/search/route.ts, toPlainText(): text.replace(/_([^_]+)_/g, "$1").

Input: a page containing prose like Set HIVE_DOCS_REF before the sync runs. (env-vars, hivectl, etc. synced pages contain such identifiers outside backticks, e.g. in tables).

Actual: the regex treats _DOCS_ as italics, indexing the text as HIVEDOCSREF. GET /api/search?q=hive_docs_ref returns no content match; q=hivedocsref matches instead.

Expected: per CommonMark, underscores inside words are not emphasis; the identifier is kept intact and searchable. Real _italic_ is still unwrapped.

Proposed fix: only unwrap underscore emphasis at word boundaries: /(^|[^\w])_([^_]+)_(?!\w)/g -> "$1$2"; add a vitest case in src/tests/search-route.extra.test.ts.

    Open PR #452 (scanner/fix-451, body carries Closes #451) already implements the proposed fix: toPlainText() in src/app/api/search/route.ts now only unwraps underscore emphasis at word boundaries (/(^|[^\w])_([^_]+)_(?!\w)/g), with a vitest case in src/__tests__/search-route.extra.test.ts covering both HIVE_DOCS_REF and _sync_, plus a changelog fragment. Unit tests, lint/build, TypeScript/ESLint and DCO are green. The Netlify deploy-preview failures happen on every recent PR (#444, #446, #449, #450), so #452 did not cause them. No duplicate PR opened.
