Description

As seen at https://hackage.haskell.org/packages/search
No results are shown when hitting `Search`. The console says:
```
SyntaxError: bad method definition
browse.js:10:2
```
Used to work fine months ago.

Research direction

Start at the Hackage package search page and inspect browse.js around line 10, reproducing the failure in Pale Moon and checking the console error. Identify the syntax that prevents the search script from loading, then verify that submitting a search displays results without the SyntaxError.
