# Bug Report

## Problem

When I want to search for the plugin "cordova-plugin-local-notifications" with the keywords "cordova plugin notifications", I get a outdated documentation for the cordova-plugin-dialogs plugin for the cli version 2.5.0 as result.

Is it necessary, to let outdated documentation appear in google search? Could outdated documentation be removed or archived?

### What is expected to happen?
In the search results you should not see the outdated documentation for cordova-plugin-dialogs. Users could misinterpret, that cordova supports local notifications.

### What does actually happen?
The outdated documentation for cordova-plugin-dialogs is shown.

## Information

### Environment, Platform, Device
Mac OS Ventura, Safari, Google

## Checklist

- [ ] I searched for existing GitHub issues
- [ ] I updated all Cordova tooling to most recent version
- [ ] I included all the necessary information above

Research direction

Start by locating the outdated cordova-plugin-dialogs documentation for CLI 2.5.0 and checking how it is included in the generated documentation and Google results. Done means the outdated page is removed or archived so searches for "cordova plugin notifications" no longer present it as relevant to local notifications.
