I’m getting this JavaScript error:

```auto
search.js:13 Error fetching JSON: Error: HTTP error! status: 404
    at fetchAndParseJSON (search.js:5:13)

```

on [Introduction | Datomic](https://docs.datomic.com/datomic-overview.html) pages.

It seems it’s caused by the search index JSON file missing:

```javascript
async function fetchAndParseJSON() {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('/minisearch/msearch-index.json');

```

Can someone look into restoring this facility, please?

I am looking into it.

Thanks for the report @onetom. I’ve fixed the issue (missing Node version and failure to create the search index) and re-deployed the docs.
