Looking at the code, it appears to be "by design". Pressing 
the Enter
key is simply not handled, instead it seems that you are 
expected to
type a search term, then click with your mouse on one of the 
completion

suggestions.


Well I hope we agree it's a bug. Pressing Enter does a useless 
thing. -- Andrei


Yeah. The autocomplete popup should probably also be rewritten as 
an HTML5 datalist.

From what I can see, there is an input field with name="q" which 
is hidden and replaced instead with another input field with no 
name, which has the placeholder "API Search". When you press 
return, it submits the form with a blank value, because you 
aren't typing text into the input field for the search query, 
which is hidden.


I don't know what's really intended there, but that's what's 
happening.

GET url is:

Now do this:

1. Go to https://dlang.org/library/index.html (or anywhere under
/library/).

2. Type hello in the search box.

Seems like an error in the way the URL is generated. Looks like it 
should be "q=hello", but it's "q="

1. Go to http://dlang.org

2. Type hello in the search box.

3. Press Enter

You'll be sent to a Google search for hello restricted to 
site:dlang.org. Nice.


Now do this:

1. Go to https://dlang.org/library/index.html (or anywhere under /library/).

2. Type hello in the search box.

3. Press Enter

The hello part is lost. You'll be sent to a Google search restricted to 
site:dlang.org but no hello.


What is happening there?


Thanks,
