This issue is being opened from this thread.

I've noticed some issues when trying to use the search functionality of the online manual.

When I select one of the 3.2 versions, I get this:

When I select one of the 3.3 versions, I get this instead:
search.screenshot2.png (view on web)

I can confirm that 3.3.2 search is broken for me too. @tierra Would you have any idea by chance? I don't understand how could Doxygen update affect old documentation, generated before we did it... Do they cache different versions of the same CSS or something like this?

But latest search is even worse, it simply doesn't show anything at all because I get status 500 in response to this query.

For the layout issue: The CSS hasn't changed at all since it was uploaded. I believe it has always had this weird layout bug. It depends heavily on how wide your browser window is (responsive breakpoints), and also how many search results (and thus how tall the results are) your search has. I just think 4k monitors weren't much of a thing back when this combo of Doxygen + Doxygen Awesome was released. If someone has a quick and simple CSS fix to improve it, I'm open to uploading that to fix it up on old versions. However, this still appears to be a problem even with Doxygen 1.15.0 and latest version of DA on trunk docs (when search works anyway).

The 500 on latest: I tried replacing that search_functions.php script with the latest, and it has fixed all the older versions of the manual. But I can't figure out why even the latest Doxygen 1.15.0 is uploading the older incompatible version. It was fixed in 1.9.7. I did replace that file on the server, but new actions builds always just rsync over the older broken version regardless. I don't even know how those builds have the old version, as Doxygen 1.15.0 release is the only version ever installed in those containers.

This has been fixed by removing our old custom search function, although I can't find commit at the moment, thanks to everybody involved.
