Search is not working in proj.org (https://github.com/OSGeo/PROJ/issues/3549).
It does work in readthedocs, so Kristian suggested just to wait for the
migration.

No problem about that, just wanted to confirm that it was under the radar.
Thanks Howard for doing that work. Testing with that domain is a good idea.

Thanks Even. Very quick fix!

I was going to see how the new option `smartquotes = False` changes the
format, and I realized that
there are no build tasks on the PR. Is that because of the "Doc:" in the
commit message?
(One motivation (not the only one) to move to readthedocs was to see the
documentation of the PRs?)

Cheers.
Javier
