You could help us investigate the problem by creating a minimal reproduction, so we can look at the problem on our machines. It is important to have any customizations removed to ensure this is actually a problem with Material for MkDocs.

Also, I note that you have mkdocs-exclude-search installed - what happens when you remove that plugin?

HI, the mkdocs-exclude-search just excludes pages in domains and contribution pages. It does nothing to issue. It works locally in Safari. We are hosting the docs on AWS S3. The search is working fine on Chrome, but not safari and firefox.

Search works in all three browsers for me. Without a minimal reproduction that shows the problem on our machines there is nothing we can do, except perhaps make a lucky guess.

You say that search works locally in Safari but don't say if the same is true for Firefox. Does it work locally for all browsers? That might be a hint as to what is going on.

When you say "The search option is not working", what do you mean? No search box is visible, you cannot enter text, nothing is found? Are there any error messages, e.g., on the JavaScript console?

To allow us to help you you need to first give us information we can work with, as outlined in the bug reporting guidelines.
