Document section-level search boost

[mintlify]

Summary

Documents the new boost field for navigation groups and page frontmatter, which biases search ranking for specific sections of a docs site.

The triggering PR added boost (a numeric multiplier) to navigation groups in docs.json and to page frontmatter. Pages inherit the closest ancestor group's boost factor; entries with a resolved factor of 1 are treated as no boost. Server-side indexers use the resolved boost as a per-chunk weight at index time.

Changes

• organize/navigation.mdx — New "Search ranking boost" subsection under Groups explaining the multiplier semantics, inheritance, and override behavior, with a docs.json example that boosts a "Get started" group and deprioritizes a "Legacy" group, plus a frontmatter snippet showing per-page override.
• organize/pages.mdx — New boost ResponseField in the page metadata list, linking back to the navigation reference for full details.

Validation

• mint broken-links: no broken links.
• mint validate: pre-existing errors only (unrelated language config and redirects issues already present on main).

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only changes that describe the new boost metadata; no runtime behavior or security-sensitive logic is modified.

Overview
Adds documentation for a new search ranking multiplier called boost.

Updates organize/navigation.mdx with a Search ranking boost section describing group-level boost, inheritance/override behavior, and a docs.json example, and updates organize/pages.mdx to document the page frontmatter boost field with a link back to the navigation section.
