On [docs.julialang.org](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/), in Google Chrome or Safari, if I click the “search docs” box  
then it was recently changed(?) to pop up an interactive search box:  
However, clicking the same box in FireFox (131.0.2) now **does nothing** , making it impossible to search. (At first I thought it might be my ad blocker, uBlock, but disabling that didn’t change anything. Sometimes it mysteriously starts working again, see below.)

I had also set up a browser search bookmark with keyword `@jl` linking to `https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/search/?q=%s`, so that I could just type `@jl foo` in the address bar to search for `foo` in the Julia documentation, but that now gives a 404. Is there an updated URL that will work? See also [How to search the manual more efficiently - #9 by JeffFessler](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-search-the-manual-more-efficiently/19314/9)

Weird, it just started working for me in Firefox. I don’t know what changed? _Update:_ now it’s **not working again** — I can’t figure out what triggers it.

The old search link `https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/search/?q=foo` still 404’s, however — it would be nice to restore this (or something similar).
