Search not working in Cloudflare workers about starlight

yes it was rocket loader

Do you have Cloudflare’s “Rocket Loader” feature enabled? We’ve seen issues in the past with that because for some reason it prevents events firing on page load (which is when the search code executes).

Edit: I can confirm you do looking at the Network panel in dev tools:

I’d recommend disabling that! It’s usually of little benefit in Starlight sites and like to cause issues.

My observations:

1. Something is defeinitely weird with CF Rocket Loader because as I block it to test the website without, it just doesn't load ANY JS
   

2. the cloudflare rocket loader mode is adding type="module" to all the script tags and they're being only by CF script, and don't load with CF scripts at all. and this all "optimization" is happening after you've deployed meaning we don't have control over it other than disabling it 😅 unless you'd wanna SSR but that just defeats the whole purpose of it.
