I might be having the same problem - my html search box only find words in 
the document titles, not words that appear in the body text of documents. 

For example, I have the term "dashboard" throughout my chapters, but when I 
search for dashboard I only get one result, which is a file title that 
includes Dashboard. 

I found this - 
http://sphinx-doc.org/config.html?highlight=copy_#confval-html_copy_source 
- it says that you need to set html_copy_source to True (or leave it at 
default). This element was entirely missing from my conf.py. When I added 
it, there was no difference.  

There is also a bug open about partial word search 
failing. https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/1341

How can I debug the html search failure?
