[BUG] search function for estimator overview not working

Reference Issues/PRs

Fixes #5495

What does this implement/fix? Explain your changes.

I identified the location of the Js search function. It was written with jQuery which I was not familiar with. I just rewrote it in vanilla Js and the problem was fixed.

This is very basic so it may not but the most right or efficient. I am going to look further into the documentation and implement some other enhancements for the estimator overview in particular and the docs in general. Then I may find out why the jQuery didn't work or draw up some other solutions.

This is great. May be you want to add yourself as a contributor?

Just for my curiosity, did you figure out why was it working before v0.20.1?

I am working on an interactive table that could sort, group, display comprehensive tags info of estimators etc. Related to this issue: #1930

I extracted the info from all_tags and all_estimators to a json file and working on the dynamic table. You could check the progress here. And suggestions on how the info should be displayed is needed.

Yes, of course! doc and maintenance, I suppose?

Nice!

What would be really interesting is to either give the user an option to select the tags they want displayed, and/or to predefine "interesting" tags if estimator types are selected, e.g., forecaster specific tags for forecaster.

Not all tags will be interesting to the user, mostly the ones that start with capability (there are some exception of older tags which do not conform to the naming convention, e.g., handles-missing-data, which really should be capability:missing_data)

So it worked before :). I was curious too.
There is Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined on developer tool when attempting to search in latest docs but not in v0.20.0 docs. It turns out jquery.js was no longer included in the recent versions.

When I searched for jquery in tagv0.20 I could not find any text or file except one instance being jquery.js -linguist-vendored in .gitattributes.

So the conf.py was changed somehow for jquery to be excluded or perhaps readthedocs/sphinx used to inject jQuery implicitly, but now no longer.

This works, so I'll just merge it!
