Search input redirects to an unrelated Google Spreadsheet on make.wordpress.org/docs

[sandeepdahiya]

On pages under ​https://make.wordpress.org/docs and its subdirectories (e.g., docs/tag/handbook, docs/tag/codex/, docs/tag/code-reference/ etc), in the right sidebar bottom part, clicking on Search box, “Team Pledges” link, or even attempting to highlight text causes an unexpected redirect to ​this Google Spreadsheet.

This happens consistently across multiple browsers and appears to affect all docs and its sub-directory pages.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Visit: ​https://make.wordpress.org/docs
• Click inside the “Search” input field (right sidebar)
• You will be redirected to a Google Sheet (unrelated)
• Same behavior occurs with other elements like “Team Pledges”

Hey @sandeepdahiya - my bet here is the content update gone wrong especially on the last item in the Handbooks section. It might be missing a closing anchor in the editor. You can try pinging on the #docs channel in Slack and see if they can fix it.

hi @sandeepdahiya - looks like the sidebar widget on this site got messed up. It should now be fixed (or when cached content expires).

Thanks for the report!
