[BUG] Search is broken

[SaschaWillems]

Looks like the last update completely broke search. It does no longer return any results. Tested with three different browser on different devices.

This seems like a timing issue. The site is very slow to load for me right now:

And it seems the search stuff might run into a time-out, resulting in a broken search.

I'm not seeing any issues with search in Chrome on Debian ATM. Maybe @gpx1000 has some insight into timeouts?

After a refresh of the site index, your browser needs time to update the cache if you're on a slower connection. The update should be fairly fast and once downloaded should return to sub-ms time.

[SaschaWillems]

Sadly not. Tried to refresh everything, made sure things load (sometimes search index takes up to a minute to load for me). The spec e.g. works, but search for the samples component does not.

[gpx1000]

No I meant that it's a static compressed index that's not the smallest. It should take time to get out to the CDNs after a new publish. It will take some time to get the first download from the update. However, once it's local to your system; then it should be equally fast. You'd just have to stay on the site until it's downloaded. As a test, watch it in dev-tools for your browser to see when it finishes downloading into your cache. Once there; it should be good.

https://github.khronos.org/Vulkan-Site/spec/latest/index.html Another test is to try the CI build. That one should have everything explicitly on main and an equally new site index.

Wait, the spec works but samples does not?? hmm... I wonder if some of the CI build optimizations might have made it so antora needs the newer command line options set even when they aren't used to ensure it gets all modules during the index genreation. That would explain it if the CI build is correct but @oddhack's local build isn't.

[SaschaWillems]

Yes, spec worked for me right away. Once the search box was enabled, I could start searching. Other components don't.

When I navigate to the samples, I can see that some search related JSON is getting downloaded very very slowly:

Once that has finished, search works again. But oddly, I can start typing in the search box right away.

[SaschaWillems]

I'm also getting a list with empty results at the top:

Thought we fixed those :/

[gpx1000]

We did but didn't get them merged after the update... it's one of the PR builds...

[gpx1000]

I'm wondering if the bug is in #196 debugging code now.

[gpx1000]

I can no longer get any issues on search other than the blank lists when I test on #206 . I still need to refresh #146 to work in the latest version. Please let me know if there's further errors I need to look at with a regression.
