Description

The search box for docs which is in the navigation bar on many https://cordova.apache.org/ pages does not work. This is the same for the plugin search on the https://cordova.apache.org/plugins/ page. It doesn't seem to redirect or put in the 'q=whatever' query into the url. For example, you can go to https://cordova.apache.org/plugins/?q=camera and get results for searching "camera", but you can't actually type anything into the search box and have anything happen.

I don't know how nobody noticed this. All of my students have been complaining about it. I even tried VPNing to see if it was somehow Canada specifi, but I got the same problem.

The fix should be easy, I added a search box to my website that refreshes an iframe and all I do is tack on "q=searchthing" to the url.
