 Overriding the default search
 -----------------------------

-and search results are retrieved via JavaScript.
-In order for Read the Docs to override the default search as expected,
-themes from the supported generators must follow these conventions.

-Search on MkDocs is provided by the `search plugin`_, which is included (and activated) by default in MkDocs.
-The js part of this plugin is included in the `templates/search/main.js`_ file,
-which subscribes to the ``keyup`` event of the ``#mkdocs-search-query`` element
-to call the ``doSearch`` function (available on MkDocs >= 1.x) on every key press.
-
-Read the Docs overrides the ``initSearch`` and ``doSearch`` functions
-to subscribe to the ``keyup`` event of the ``#mkdocs-search-query`` element,
-and puts the results into the ``#mkdocs-search-results`` element.
-A simplified example looks like this:
-
-.. code-block:: js
-
-   var original_search = doSearch;
-
-   function search_override() {
-      var query = document.getElementById('mkdocs-search-query').value;
-      var search_results = document.getElementById('mkdocs-search-results');
-
-      var results = fetch_resuls(query);
-      if (results) {
-         empty_results(search_results)
-         for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i += 1) {
-            var result = process_result(results[i]);
-            append_result(result, search_results);
-         }
-      } else {
-         original_search();
-      }
-   }
-
-   var init_override = function () {
-      var search_input = document.getElementById('mkdocs-search-query');
-      search_input.addEventListener('keyup', doSearch);
-   };
-
-   window.doSearch = search_override;
-   window.initSearch = init_override;
-
-   initSearch();
-
-Highlights from results will be in a ``mark`` tag (``This is a <mark>result</mark>``).
-If your theme works with the search plugin of MkDocs,
-and defines the ``#mkdocs-search-query`` and ``#mkdocs-search-results`` elements,
-it will work with Read the Docs' SSS.
-
-.. note::
-
-   Since the ``templates/search/main.js`` file is included after our custom search,
-   it will subscribe to the ``keyup`` event too, triggering both functions when a key is pressed
-   (but ours should have more precedence).
-   This can be fixed by not including the ``search`` plugin (you won't be able to fallback to the original search),
-   or by creating a custom plugin to include our search at the end (this should be done by Read the Docs).

 Supporting more themes and static site generators
 -------------------------------------------------
 
-Currently, Read the Docs supports building documentation from
-:doc:`Sphinx <rtd:intro/getting-started-with-sphinx>` and :doc:`MkDocs <rtd:intro/getting-started-with-mkdocs>`.
 All themes that follow these conventions should work as expected.
 If you think other generators or other conventions should be supported,
 or content that should be ignored or have an especial treatment,
