Search not functioning in gtk-4-doc index.html

I have this installed file located at file:///usr/share/doc/libgtk-4-doc/gtk4/index.html
I got this file when I installed libgtk-4-doc
after opening this file in Mozilla browser, I am if I press ‘s’, focus is going into the search box. but search is not functioning even after pressing enter key.
But at https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/index.html, search is working correctly.
Not sure if the issue is with my environment or with repo

The search does not work locally because it’s loading the index as a separate file, and web browsers don’t allow that for local content.

You should use Devhelp instead of loading the HTML files manually; it has a search functionality that works offline.

Dear Bassi,

Thanks for your reply. As per your suggestion I have installed

sudo apt install flatpak
sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak

It is working great and very helpful as well.
