This image does not show up when you search for `nodejs` #26

What would you recommend we do about it? We can't really rename the image now, so maybe search could be improved to search the short description sans punctuation? No matter what happens to solve this, it won't actually involve changes to this particular repo so I'm at a loss for what we could do here.

i don't know - the reason I raise it here is because I have no idea what is possible....

The simplest solution I can think of is uploading the same image with a second name, the next would be er,

docker tag node nodejs ?

sorry, i wasn't clear - seach for nodejs on the hub - our official image isn't there - so many people won't discover it.

I agree with what you're saying, but I don't see much we can do about it except fragment or alienate users by switching the name (since the Hub doesn't have a real way to "rename" an image), which is why I suggested that search could be improved, since our short description is "Node.js is a JavaScript-based platform ...", since the search term covers the description too, could match "nodejs". It's worth noting that a search for "node.js" does turn up the official image.

Wasn't the hub team working on redirects? Maybe a full alias like nodejs would be possible so that FROM node and FROM nodejs are the same from the hub side without extra tagging on our side (just some sort of config in the hub). But I think the cleaner way would be to improve the search with common "misspellings" similar to google. People will have a similar problem once we upload an httpd image and they search for apache2.

yup - I'd upload duplicates now, and then aliases are available (or whatever) then convert - but :)

its an issue - and now its on record so you have something to remind you to talk to the related teams :gift:
