Some searches involving “flash” throw a 500 error about flask-website

I tried cloning this repo and spinning up a local copy of the website, but I couldn’t reproduce easily – the search backend seems to be missing. None of my searches return any results.

3471381 I fixed an issue with the docs regex not matching when building the index. Not sure if this is what was causing the issue though. Will need @mitsuhiko to figure out what the server error is.

For reference, to index docs:

• clone flask next to flask-website
• run make dirhtml in the flask docs
• run python update_doc_searchindex.py

Some other terms that fail: nginx, sqlite, flaskr. The only pattern I see is they are all terms that appear in subdirectories in the docs. This doesn't fail locally though.

Solved by removing the search button. 0eb55a5
