The same problem occurs on

I believe that this is fixed by #6674. That is, the failure here is because the reference manual didn't build during the 'make' process, and it didn't build because of the issue discussed and solved at #6674. Since the reference manual didn't build, searching the docs produced no results, hence the doctest failure here. If someone can confirm this, I think we can close this ticket.
