Searching in docs v0.6.2 stable does not work

[jankrepl]

In the current stable 0.6.2 docs searching just yields Searching... but never actually shows results.

Switching to dev 0.7.0.dev0 makes it work

Indeed. It works on the locally built docs and in the artifact from the last PR (https://1550-25860190-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/rtd_html/index.html). Any idea @larsoner ?

Looking at the dev console when searching stable I see:

jquery.js:2 Uncaught TypeError: Search.loadIndex is not a function
    at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (search.html?q=sphinx&check_keywords=yes&area=default:232)
    at j (jquery.js:2)
    at k (jquery.js:2)

Then some more googling:

sphinx-doc/sphinx#6244

So rebuilding should fix it. But really we could just release 0.7.0 because of animations, and maybe also once #656 is in

Sounds good, animations are big! Should I/we nag Gael about #656 or get someone else to review?

(Also master is broken with sphinx-dev build, seems to be something wrong with imports as plot_future_imports_broken.py isn't failing as it should and plot_numpy_matplotlib.py failing at import matplotlib line)

Fixed with new release
