+1 for re-enabling the sphinx search result previews with the new theme if possible while waiting for a possible revival of the Algolia alternative discussed at #28478.

/cc @Charlie-XIAO.

This I believe is some upstream bug but I can't remember clearly. Let me try to find it out.

It seems to be because pydata-sphinx-theme removes role="main" which sphinx search relies on for fetching the search summary. It is restored in 0.15.3rc1 but I'm not sure when 0.15.3 will be finally released (it seems to be blocked by some issue, according to pydata/pydata-sphinx-theme#1797). Should we somehow force the doc build to use pydata-sphinx-theme==0.15.3rc1?

I think that we can temporary await for the final release since it should be coming soon. Also, I'll start to look again at the Algolia search engine.

I'm wondering if this is not a problem of configuration because I see that Jupyter has the right output with the latest release 0.15.2:

Let me try sphinx==7.2.6 with pydata-sphinx-theme==0.15.2. We are currently using sphinx==7.3.7; perhaps sphinx has changed their way of generating search summary.

I have actually tried sphinx==7.3.7 with pydata-sphinx-theme==0.15.3rc1 and at least on my local machine this combination works.

OK so let's just wait.

So strange 🤣

But I found a very simple fix: we can overwrite searchtools.js by vendoring from sphinx and changing every occurrence of [role="main"] to #main-content. After pydata-sphinx-theme==0.15.3 is release we can simply deleted this file.

The version 0.15.3 is available ;)
