Search query returns outdated artifact versions

[rome-user]

Consider a query like https://clojars.org/search?format=xml&q=lilactown/helix

At the time of writing this issue, the following data is returned.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<results count="1" total-hits="1" results-per-page="24" offset="0">
  <result jar_name="helix"
	  group_name="lilactown"
	  version="0.0.12"
	  description="ClojureScript optimized for modern React development."
	  created="1591393718860" />
</results>

However, the latest version of lilactown/helix, at the time of writing, is 0.1.10. This causes commands like lein search to display outdated versions of packages.

I'll note that the API endpoint returns the latest version. Consider https://clojars.org/api/artifacts/lilactown/helix . This returns an EDN map with [:latest_version "0.1.10"] as a key-value pair.

Hi @rome-user! Thanks for reporting this. I suspect it is caused by the query that pulls all the jars/versions for indexing isn't ordered, so 0.0.12 may appear in the resultset after 0.1.10. This would cause thhe index doc for 0.0.12 to overwrite the doc for 0.1.10 on a full reindex. I'll take a look at fixing this this week.

@rome-user This should be fixed now!
