      Hi there, the left searchbar on the backtrader.com website does not work properly for me on chrome or firefox. When I type something in, there is a darkened overlay across the whole page so I cannot click on any of the results. The culprit seems to be

      <label class="md-search__overlay" for="__search"></label>
      

      Not sure if its just my pc but if it is broken for everyone, I would love to see that fixed as the search is awesome.

      Thanks and have a nice day,
      Flow

        @flow I believe this has been an issue for some time and likely not getting fixed soon. There's a goggle box there on the docs page but I just type backtrader and then my search term into any search engine and that works find.

          @run-out Oh that's a bummer. Backtrader seems like a really cool piece of work but building a foundation on an abandoned (?) software always has a bad aftertaste. Do you know what happened to the creator? To me it looked like he pretty much vanished years ago? Thanks!

            @flow Regarding Daniel Rodriguez, the creator of backtrader, I wasn't really here too much at the time he pulled out. But my understanding is, and please any longer term participants correct me if I'm wrong...

            Daniel built the great software package, at some point he considered it complete, and I believe he simply wanted to move on to other projects.

            As to why he didn't open it up more I don't really know. We have made some efforts to create more ability to at least fix bugs in Backtrader2.
