searching for functions yields nothing (or hangs)

[aaronmarkham]

Try: https://beta.mxnet.io/search.html?q=LBSGD
No results... it just hangs in "Searching" mode.

There's a js error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'textContent' of undefined
    at Object.htmlToText (searchtools.js:66)
    at Object.makeSearchSummary (searchtools.js:483)
    at Object.complete (searchtools.js:277)
    at i (jquery.js:2)
    at Object.fireWith (jquery.js:2)
    at A (jquery.js:4)
    at XMLHttpRequest.<anonymous> (jquery.js:4)

"Seaching..." never disappears (and that JS error is always there too), even for sucessful searches. And it's not just functions, it's everything.

We had a similar problem, and found that sphinx-doc/sphinx#6387 fixes it (either upgrade your Sphinx, if you're using their themes, or make the modification in that PR to your own theme if you're using a custom theme).

Hello - I came across your bug while hunting down a similar bug in my own sphinx docs. See if my branch fixes it for you: See sphinx-doc/sphinx#7192
