The ability to search the documentation has disappeared

[DianaNites]

mdbook documentation normally has the ability to search for text within it, and the zellij documentation did have this ability at least as recently as Dec 16th, 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20241216052032/https://zellij.dev/documentation/introduction.html, because the search icon can be seen. That corresponds to the previous release of v0.41.2, from Nov 19th, 2024.

This has since disappeared, making the documentation much harder to navigate and reference.

I can find no obvious code or configuration change that caused this, book.toml does not disable search, and search is enabled by default in mdBook

maybe of note, searcher.js exists in the old-documentation folder, but not the new documentation, but did exist in the version_41 branch

It appears to have been removed in #258 at commit "theme specification" 78564eb#diff-1977f86fe551fbda907d3b27d28d50c69d21a542dc0271465a71fb24e90aab3a

Hey, thank you for pointing this out! This was likely due to rust-lang/mdBook#2586 (I was building with mdbook 0.4.45). I upgraded to 0.4.47, rebuilt the static assets and the search is back now.

Also, thanks for the detailed bisect and troubleshooting, it helped me find the problem quicker.

Thanks for the quick fix, search is back

This seems to have undone the fix for the broken theme specs image, however f332ec0#diff-2d32c33b352af5d44227cef4bc96705de8fe9108614da592eb5f05426de7096f

You are right - just issued a fix and it's back now. Thanks once again!
