The Search Spinner Keeps Spinning And No Result Appear

[Qian-Donglin]

First of all, thank you for making this fantastic theme!

Now I use hugo-book theme, and suddenly I found I cannot use the search. My customization is only add katex for using $$ to represents the numerical formula on hugo-book/layouts/partials/docs/html-head.html. The added code is following.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.16.8/dist/katex.min.css"
    integrity="sha384-GvrOXuhMATgEsSwCs4smul74iXGOixntILdUW9XmUC6+HX0sLNAK3q71HotJqlAn" crossorigin="anonymous">

    onload="renderMathInElement(document.body);"></script>

<script>
    document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
        renderMathInElement(
            document.body,
            {
                delimiters: [
                    { left: "$$", right: "$$", display: true },
                    { left: "\\[", right: "\\]", display: true },
                    { left: "$", right: "$", display: false },
                    { left: "\\(", right: "\\)", display: false }
                ]
            });
    });
</script>

And I hit on this problem in both of my local and github pages. Are there someone knowing how to resolve it?

Hi! do you see some error in browser console? what is your --baseURL when you build the site?

I have the same issue. Here are my findings:

My website is hosted on github pages so the baseURL is of form: username.github.io/website

In order to retrieve assets the hugo page makes request to username.github.io/website but for search date the page is making request to username.github.io/en.search-data.json instead of username.github.io/website/en.search-data.json

See #571 and #505
