The primary cause of the unpleasant browser search experience was the order in which sidebars were placed in the DOM, which would make results from the left sidebar to precede those from the main content while using any browser's search functionality.
It is fixed by reordering the sidebars in the DOM while preserving the visual order using flex order as suggested by @mleonhard in #2131 (comment).
As a bonus this also fixes an a11y issue where screen readers would first read out contents of the sidebar instead of the main content as they also rely on the DOM order.
