To be fair what you describe is more a side-result of our community rather than our own features.

CMD+K is a popular shortcut. It's not built-in Algolia DocSearch modal.

Also other frameworks like VitePress have a similar experience: https://vitepress.vuejs.org/

if i have 1 piece of feedback about docusaurus docsearch, it is that doing faceted search (eg to filter for languages, or library versions) is not at all documented. i've tried multiple times and failed. if someone from Algolia is reading this, we could really use your help there, it would greatly increase the experience of all docs via docusaurus and improve Algolia integration.

Thanks for the feedback

We call this "contextual search": https://docusaurus.io/docs/search#contextual-search

It's now enabled by default and facet on version + language so normally you don't have to do anything (like it was the case on v1).

Now we don't provide very good APIs to customize this default facetted search, so it's more all or nothing.

Is this solving your use-case or you need something else?
