Description

mkdocs build was not an issue before upgrade to 7.3.3 from 7.2.8

I updated to benefit from the new improved search

These errors are showing after pip install --upgrade mkdocs-material

pip show mkdocs-material
Name: mkdocs-material
Version: 7.3.3

• My update was a minor version
• Here is the shell complaint

mkdocs build
ERROR    -  Config value: 'markdown_extensions'. Error: Failed loading extension "mdx_spanner".
ERROR    -  Config value: 'plugins'. Error: The "localsearch" plugin is not installed
Aborted with 2 Configuration Errors!

Expected behaviour

no errors

Actual behaviour

mkdocs build
ERROR    -  Config value: 'markdown_extensions'. Error: Failed loading extension "mdx_spanner".
ERROR    -  Config value: 'plugins'. Error: The "localsearch" plugin is not installed
Aborted with 2 Configuration Errors!

UPDATE: for those the same issue

I had to reinstall localsearch and mdx-spanner plugins to solve this.

pip install mkdocs-localsearch
pip install mdx-spanner

Likely due to my python version update
