Description
If I go to https://www.rdocumentation.org/ and search for the package boot and wait for a bit, I get a suggestion in the dropdown:
The package is, in fact, indexed. However, actually performing the search gives me an empty page:
The package boot does exist, it just isn't found in the search: https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/boot/versions/1.3-30. If you search, for instance, for boot.ci, this hits that function from the package.
The issue happens with other packages, but I haven't tracked which, I simply decided to finally submit an issue. It might be that somehow the search query is filtering out "boot" as a common word or something?

Research direction
Reproduce the package search for boot and compare it with the working boot.ci search. Trace the search entry point and request handling to identify where package-name results are filtered, then verify that searching for boot returns the package page and that existing searches still work.
