A user reported an issue on the Replit Forums where search results were not linking properly, causing the search window to collapse instead of navigating to the desired content. The problem was reproducible on the Replit forums and another hosted instance but not on Meta or a local dev environment. It was noted that the issue affected logged-in users but worked for anonymous users, and it persisted in safe mode. A workaround involved right-clicking and opening links externally. The issue was identified as fixed in a recent Discourse commit, and the user confirmed the problem was resolved after a fix was deployed. vvithershins reported the issue, and Lilly and Arkshine helped confirm and address the bug.
I’ve described the issue here. (on Replit forums.)
It seems to work fine here though. (on Discourse Meta)
there is a video that will better explain the problem in the link but I can’t post it here due to being a new user.
I clicked on the search result 3 times but it never takes me to it :
[details =“Briefing”]
I tried to search for “Day 65” in all topics and posts.
it shows some results but clicking on any one of them doesn’t take me to it.
Instead the search window collapses.

hi @vvithershins welcome to Meta
hmmm. I can reproduce this on your forum and at least one other hosted instance. I cannot reproduce here on Meta nor my latest local dev pull, so it’s since been fixed in a commit somewhere - I also notice the following:
