I mostly use the Python 3.8 docs since that's the Python I use.
However, when I tried using the 3.9 and 3.10 docs I found that the top of each page has a long search bar (presumably for mobile devices?) but _no_ link to the python module index. I find this last page the most important page for looking things up, so I really hope the 'modules' link is restored.

I think https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/issues is the correct place to report issues with the web site.

In this case, it has to do with how the docs are generated with Sphinx and the source for them is in the cpython repo. You can see the problem if you build the docs yourself and open them in a browser.

Thanks for the correction, Ned!
