Discussions don't show up on the docs page

[geroldmeisinger]

all the discussions used to be shown by giscus on the docs page

example:
#532
https://docs.comfy.org/custom-nodes/backend/lists

[comfyui-wiki]

In fact, I don't know how this happens; the old discussions seem to be auto-closed. Let me investigate it.

[geroldmeisinger]

it's interesting that using lists or custom-nodes/backend/lists on discussion search returns an empty result, whereas "Photo" brings up one result. maybe github discussions don't support search-by-title feature at all (which would be weird) or it's broken on titles with special characters.

but I guess giscus uses strict paths instead of lookups so this probably isn't the cause for the error

---

the mentioned discussion currently sits on page 7

Photo in:title (note the whitespace!) works
tutorials/basic/inpaint in:title works
lists in:title doesn't work (but exists)
custom-nodes/backend/lists in:title doesn't work (but exists)
tutorials/partner-nodes/image/overview in:title works, WHAT?!

page 1
built-in-nodes/partner-node/video/minimax/minimax-text-to-video

page 4
built-in-nodes/partner-node/video/kwai_vgi/kling-camera-control-i2v
built-in-nodes/partner-node/video/kwai_vgi/kling-camera-control-i2v

interesting that there are two results with the same name. they only difference is the anchor in the link #outputs. what would happen if I post a comment via giscus that appears to be empty?

searching for built-in-nodes/partner-node in:title only reveals built-in-nodes/partner-node/video/minimax/minimax-text-to-video
WHAT!?

also see: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/131132 and github search by title
=> so the search on GitHub Discussions is fundamentally broken

LLM says:

The repository's own fallback search is not using this mechanism.

generateDiscussionUrl() in giscus-comments.js does this:

const pathSegments = currentPath.split('/').filter(Boolean);

searchQuery = pathSegments
  .join(' ')
  .replace(/[-_]/g, ' ')
  .replace(/\s+/g, ' ')
  .trim();

So:

/custom-nodes/backend/lists

becomes:

custom nodes backend lists

and then the script generates:
