Search in some subsections does not work unless manually entering URL

[samuell]

When I click any of the links from Angular JS and down, I see that the URL in the browser is switched so that the section is added on the end.

For example, if I click "python", and try to search for itertools, I see the URL change from devdocs.io to devdocs.io/python, but no python stuff when I search:

... only HTMl / JS / web stuff.

Only if I manually select the URL bar in the browser tool bar and hit [Enter], the search works properly.

Thanks for the detailed bug report. You need to activate Python to make it available in the global search. Click "Select documentation" in the bottom left corner, check Python, and hit "Save".
Let me know if that solves the issue.

@Thibaut Indeed, that solves it!

Obviously I didn't read the instructions carefully enough! ... and didn't see the button in the left bottom corener at first.

Maybe it is a little unexpected though that you can click on "python" and the URL changes, but the search won't work ... though I don't know how one could make it more obvious.

Maybe make the bottom left button more visible? ... or make the "greyed out" items not clickeable (since that is what caused the confusion) ?

... or something else :)

Yep, I'll see if I can make the button more visible in the initial state.
