OP Search window is broken on Windows10/Firefox

[iramcdonald]

On my Windows 10 machine w/ Firefox (with ad blocking
disabled), the Search window is still broken.

Enter/Return does nothing.

There should be an explicit Submit button added.

Hi @iramcdonald, I looked into this. If we want to make the search work, we need to setup algolia and it looks a little bit time-consuming. When we get student contributors, we can float this as an assignment.

Hi, Since Algolia is an *expensive* commercial search engine using proprietary technology, I suggest that open source Elasticsearch is a better choice for realtime search engine in OP website.

@iramcdonald Algolia is free for the community. The free edition offers up to 50k searches each month. This is more than enough for OP.
We cannot use elastic search because the elastic search requires a server to run on. Our website is hosted on GitHub pages. The old OpenPrinting server runs on Ubuntu 12.04, so it will be very difficult to port current versions of elastic search to a 7 year OS.
So, I believe we should stick to Algolia.
