The search bar is missing from docs.python.org, probably as a result of a minor error in the webpage. This is a quite recent change, as the search bar is still there in a web.archive.org snapshot from the 13th of September (last week). Could someone please fix this? Thanks.

Strange it's present on both 3.8.a0 and for 3.6.6 but not for 3.7.0

Thanks

Confirming that I see the same behavior as reported by @xtreak.

I can reproduce it locally [1]. The Python logo at the left dissapear to, it goes from "[LOGO] Python »" to "3.7.0 Documentation »".

Did not spotted recent changes in the theme / docsbuild-scripts / cpython/Doc for the moment, but now I can inspect locally.

Local reproduction with a fresh clone of docsbuild-scripts:

    $ mkdir -p www logs build_root
    $ python3 -m venv build_root/venv/
    $ build_root/venv/bin/python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
    $ python3 ./build_docs.py --quick --build-root build_root --www-root www --log-directory logs --group $(id -g) --branch 3.7
    $ (cd www/3.7/; python3 -m http.server)

I got it back by building with 90f7d455b (7 days ago), so I'm git bisecting...

@mdk The asyncio folks did make a change to the layout in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/9364 . It's a bit weird that 3.7 is the release that is missing the search bar.

Yes, got it too : 512d7101098b971837cbb406942215244f636547, they literally removed the searchbox:

$ git show 512d7101098b971837cbb406942215244f636547 | grep searchbox
-{%- macro searchbox() %}
-{# modified from sphinx/themes/basic/searchbox.html #}
-        {{ searchbox() }}
-            '<input type="text" value="" id="searchbox" style="width: 50%">',
-            '<input type="submit" id="searchbox-submit" value="Filter"></p>'
-                  var query = new RegExp($('#searchbox').val(), 'i');
-          $('#searchbox').keyup(dofilter);
-          $('#searchbox-submit').click(dofilter);

Oh, this is a result of asyncio docs 3.8 -> 3.7 backport. I'll fix this.

Does master and 3.7 branch build the docs at different times? It's odd to me that master still shows the search box and 3.7 does not.

I'm getting on a flight soon. Yury would be a good person to ping re: changing.

Thanks Yuri (and thanks for the rewrite!)

layout.html was refactored in 3.8: scripts were moved into separate files.  I accidentally copied it from 3.8 to 3.7, where those new scripts are not available.

Closing this now, please reopen if there's still no search bar in a few hours.

Aaand... it's back.
