Search anything that starts with 'S' on docs.rs

Hello,

I have noticed a bug (maybe) on docs.rs.

I am not able to search anything that start with 'S'.
I guess it is because of

Click or press ‘S’ to search, ‘?’ for more options…

So, when one presses 'S' search field takes a focus but consequent 'S' presses do nothing.
It results in very inconvenient way to search without leading 'S' and to hope that autocomplete will help me.

I would open an issue somewhere on GitHub but I don't know where code for docs.rs is landed.

Please, help me to figure it out.

By the way, do you the same experience?

P.S.
I have filed an issue here.

Surely they wouldn't...

*checks*

Holy cow, they really did. That's pretty hilarious. :smiley:

It's worth noting that this does not happen if you try searching sufficiently old docs. Here's an example of sufficiently old docs that don't exhibit this problem.

I would raise this on Rust’s github. Come to think of it, I might’ve noticed this as well.

Just tried. Also sometimes does not work when second is s.

Wow, I didn't think it depends on a particular crate.
I thought is it the whole site problem.

The docs aren't generated site-wide. The site runs rustdoc on each crate as it gets published to the index, and then serves up a bunch of static files.
