Meraki API Search Broken

I'm having a lot of trouble using the API "search docs" tool.

I can never find what I'm looking for. For example, today I wanted to find the info about an API call that I loosely know is called "Get Network". I wanted this because I want to look at automating setting the local status page password, and I want to retrieve the existing settings first.

I can't figure out how to craft a query to get this info. And it's not just this one search, it's happening again and again when I use it. I'm just giving this as an example.

I found it worked much better before the AI was introduced, and it was a simple search.

If I contrast this with using Google, the results are immediately better and much more relevant.

https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Adeveloper.cisco.com%2Fmeraki+Get+Network

What I am expecting with the search tool is to be able to find this URL:

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-network/

Is anyone else finding the search unusable?

I think I am at the point of giving up on it completely and using Google to search the API documents.

I thought I would try the new Automation tool (which looks excellent!!!!). I have the same problem with its search tool.
