Algolia DocSearch dropdown is not shown when viewing versioned docs about react-native-website

The daily crawl was too long so it was not correctly done. Should be fixed now :)

Looks like the dropdown is only triggered when viewing the latest version's docs. After navigating to 'next' or to a previous release, the drop down is not shown. Looks like anything that changes the base URL of the docs will cause this to happen.

Please fix it soon, kind of tough to navigate and find features without search option.

You'll probably want to take a look at the pages/ files in this repo. It may also be a bug with Docusaurus itself. Ping me here if you open a PR on either repo and I can take a look.

@s-pace has some insight about this, copying over from another issue:

👋 guys,

React Native features DocSearch.

@MoOx the issue isn't coming from our side but from the DocSearch snippet

🏓 @hramos (@vjeux)

It look like the master pages aren't using the right tag (The latest version is hardcoded instead of master).

I have made a quick fix in order to don't stop the search in production but please update your tag from your DocSearch snippet. I can't do a PR on the gh-pages according to your Contributing Guide.

It is not the first time this issue happen.

Feel free to ask us for any other point, we would be happy to help.

I think this may need to be fixed upstream in Docusaurus (see my comment here s-pace/react-native@4bf072a).

Are you guys aware this is still broken? The docs are effectively unusable without search.

This seems to break every couple of weeks.

Edit: you might have some duplicate issues here: #998 and here: #985

The crawl is pretty long and was stopped. Can you check now @methodbox ? Should be fine

Not sure what you mean by, "the crawl is pretty long...". Can you clarify?

It seems to be working now. However, your test image shows the actual home page; note that this was particularly and issue after searching and/or on the actual docs page. Both seem to work okay now, though.

Please also understand it wasn't just the quick search drop-down - hitting Enter did nothing; it literally would not search.

It also looks like a fixed issue for me. @methodbox Feel free to reopen this issue or create the new one if the problem persist.
