Search never stops searching, fails

[pedrohdz]

Describe the bug
From 3.4.0 on, it seems as if the search functionality is broken.

The error found in the browser console:

Uncaught ReferenceError: Stemmer is not defined
    query http://localhost:8000/_static/searchtools.js:158
    setIndex http://localhost:8000/_static/searchtools.js:98
    <anonymous> http://localhost:8000/search/?q=jenkin&check_keywords=yes&area=default# line 2 > injectedScript:1

This issue seems to be directly related to the fix for #8419 in PR #8445.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a site using 3.4.0 or later.
2. Try and search for something on the site.
3. Watch the search page run for ever...

Expected behavior

For search to function.

Environment info

• Docker image with:

  FROM sphinxdoc/sphinx:latest
  

Workaround
Pin to version 3.3.1 or earlier.
