Re: [docbook-apps] Issue with WebHelp search deleting the sidebar

[Peter Desjardins <peter.desjardins.us@gmail.com>]

I can confirm that I see the same behavior in our webhelp. Searching
for the term "length" will result in the same JS error.

The search function is working as expected otherwise. Interesting problem!
