Search disappears when activating plugins

[El-Gavy]

Hello,
After two hours of research and testing without success, I resign myself to asking for help: when I try to activate two plugins in this way, the search disappears on all pages:

plugins:
  - git-revision-date-localized:
      enable_creation_date: true
  - git-authors

When i comment these lines, search appears again. I installed the said plugins locally and they are also well installed during the CI of my repository, accessible at this address : https://framagit.org/zotero-fr/zotero-fr.frama.io

If anyone could provide assistance I would be really grateful.

From our docs:

The built-in search plugin integrates seamlessly with Material for MkDocs, adding multilingual client-side search with lunr and lunr-languages. It's enabled by default, but must be re- added to mkdocs.yml when other plugins are used

plugins:
  - search

[squidfunk]

To expand a little: this behavior is induced by MkDocs, not by Material for MkDocs. The reason is that search was originally implemented natively into MkDocs, but at some point factored out into a plugin when the plugin system was added. IIRC, the idea was to reduce friction for existing users so that search does not have to be enabled explicitly. However, the more plugins came into existence, the more users ran into the problem that search is gone. So making the search plugin explicit at all times might have been a better decision, but I guess that ship is sailed.

Indeed it is working just fine by declaring search as a plugin. Thanks a lot, and also for the detailed explanation, much appreciated. This an amazing project, thanks for your great work <3
