searching for help on docs.pytest.org fails with "page does not exist yet".

steps

searching for "fixture"

fixture

returns this page

pytest.fixtures

fix?

removing the "rst." from the search result url returns the correct page.

Thanks for the report @slippers. It does seem to be related to some configuration related to search, do you have any suggestions on how to fix it?

[slippers]

best guess is that this is in the conf.py file for your sphinx site. could have sensitive stuff.

• check your sphinx version
• determine if you are using a custom search adapter
• if custom then find the adapter that extends BaseSearch?
• end of best guess:)

@slippers we do use readthedocs

bug already exists. so it might fix itself.

uses the rest api elasticsearch for index.
pyelasticsearch for composing the url. build is failing there but no bugs reported.
