Description

Issue

What is the issue?

When I type "denial of service" in the search field on opencre.org I cannot find a reference to the OWASP Denial of Service cheat sheet - https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Denial_of_Service_Cheat_Sheet.html

Expected Behaviour

The OWASP Denial of Service cheat sheet link should appear as a reference.

Actual Behaviour

Several other references appear on the results page (e.g. ASVS, other OWASP cheat sheets, CAPEC, NIST, CWE, etc) but no link to the OWASP DoS cheat sheet.

Steps to reproduce

Visit opencre.org and type in "denial of service" in the search field and then click Search.
