It seems that mdBook listens to `s` char and we can type it in out own search because it triggers the original mdBook's search. Steps to reproduce it: 1. Go to https://test-builds.readthedocs.io/en/mdbook/ 2. Open the flyout 3. Click on the search input 4. Type `testing` You will notice that when pressing the `s` it will trigger the original mdBook's search and the `s` char is not written.
