    Description

      Since JDK-8244535 the javadoc search script uses the RegExp.prototype.flags property which is defined in ECMAScript 6. Unfortunately, this property is not supported in Internet Explorer and other older browsers, causing the search feature to not work on these platforms.

      Fortunately, there's a widely supported `ignoreCase` property that can be used as replacement.
