Searchbox Autocomplete missing.

[StevenDufresne]

The autocomplete for searches when using the code reference is not working. It was working when we did a first pass of this design. Was it removed purposefully? That is a very well used feature.

This was also working on the homepage as well.

It has not been removed intentionally.

There was originally a search bar on the homepage, right? I remember there used to be one.

However, in the current production version of the code, I’ve noticed that this condition would never evaluates to true on the homepage, resulting in the search bar not being displayed there. Adding is_front_page() would bring it back.

And I initially thought that the search functionality wouldn't work on the current production either, but it turns out that you need to type at least three letters before suggestions pop up.

Not the home page, it's on the reference landing page.

The search has been removed from the new home page, see #309 (comment)

The requirement for this issue is to get it working again on https://developer.wordpress.org/redesign-test/reference/ and the code reference search at https://developer.wordpress.org/redesign-test/?s=block
