ROBLOX Developer Portal - Mobile Search broken

I also had this problem. I had to use desktop view.

Ditto
Same chrome version on a Pixel XL.

When I tried to search something on the DevHub by tapping on the search icon using my android device, the keyboard pops up but a split second later it disappears. I can keep tapping the icon and the keyboard pops up every time, but it disappears immediately afterwards.

This happens 100% of the time, even after refreshing and deleting cookies.

I do not know when the bug started happening, but I do remember experiencing it around the time the DevHub initially released.

I’m running a Pixel 2 XL with Android 9.0 (latest update as of 11/5/18)

Hey Locard, could you check again for me? I just fixed an issue that was breaking search on developer.roblox.com

Just cleared cache and everything but my keyboard still doesn’t seem to stay appearing unfortunately.

Running a first gen Pixel with exact same results. I used to be able to get around it by requesting the desktop site, but that search script is being barred from being loaded over http, and chrome mobile doesn’t give me a button to load it anyway. So I straight up can’t search the devhub on mobile rn.

The script over http issue is a thread here btw:

I’m sorry for the bump, but this issue still happens. Any plans to actually fix it?

Can confirm search doesn’t work for me on mobile, super annoying as I have to switch to desktop mode every time (rather ironic lol)

Can also confirm. This is really disruptive to my work flow when I use my phone to refer to docs while developing :slightly_frowning_face:

I can say for me, I do not have this problem. I am on a IPhone 7.

I don’t use the search at all, cause I know I won’t be able to search anything using it.
I use Google instead.
I would really love to be able to use DevHub without leaving DevHub.

Still broken. It works in the fake mobile view from the Chrome dev tools, but not on actual Chrome browser on a phone.

This bug is approaching its 1-year anniversary.

This happens for me on Chrome, but on firefox the keyboard stays up so I can just tap search a second time and it works. Definitely a bug though.

Apologies for the 1-year long period of us addressing the bug! It’s certainly been on our radar and I can’t make any promises but we will get to it as soon as possible, especially noting that some of you use the site on mobile.

Still an issue. Cannot use my PC as I am testing for network instablities in Studio so I tried searching some stuff up on the Hub. I have to use google because of this bug and it is really annoying.

Still an issue. I use my phone often for documentation lookup, but this problem makes the Roblox dev hub unusable on my phone.

Can confirm this is an issue. I found the solution is to go to the search page: Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

This page doesn’t have the issue on mobile so it allows you to search on mobile. Still pretty annoying to actually have to type in the search url.

Cool, I’ll have to bookmark that

We released a patch for this last night!
