Search working in documents but not in the project Home.

[carukc]

Hello,

I've created a build of ReadTheDocs and have pretty much everything working.

Strangely I seem to be able to search in the document itself but a search in the doc management pages does not return any results.

I am seeing a search related warning when I build (included below).

Do I need to create an index in Elastic for the combined index? I am using commonmark… Would that cause a problem with the combined index?

Is this a known issue or have I configured something incorrectly? It seems really strange that search would work in the document itself but not in the main site.

Please assist.
Thanks
Chris

Yeah, you need elastic search. Our docs go through the required setup there.

Thanks.. I think that there must be something that I am not understanding re the setup instructions.

I've got icu working but it looks like I also have to execute some python. I'll try to figure out how to do that next.

Thanks
Chris

There is the same issue reported here #3803 with more up to date information and also there is a PR in progress for adding the documentation #3881

So closing this in favor of the other one
