Broken link in Sphinx search on RTD #508

At https://devguide.python.org/search/?q=sphinx there's currently a broken link http://devguide.python.org/index?highlight=sphinx to the "Python Developer’s Guide".

When I build the devdocs locally and do the same search for "sphinx", the link goes to file:///Users/deil/work/code/devguide/_build/html/index.html?highlight=sphinx (not the "index.html" instead of "index" at the end of the URL) and works.

So it seems there's a an issue on RTD, where either the Sphinx search index is outdated, or there's a bug in it's generation on that machine.

I see at https://readthedocs.org/projects/cpython-devguide/builds/9342659/ that the last build there passed 4 days ago.

Can anyone figure out what's wrong here?

https://devguide.python.org/?highlight=sphinx works, so I wonder if that could be a bug when building in HtmlDir mode.

I cannot reproduce this now, https://devguide.python.org/search/?q=sphinx has no link to "Python Developer’s Guide", and the other links all work:

Looks like it has been fixed somehow in the meantime.
