Footer inconsistency at codesearch.d.n

[samueloph]

The footer varies depending on whether we're looking at the home page or a search result's page:

dcs-web 955c194 (modified)

https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=sfsd&literal=1

dcs-web 1868978, see github.com/Debian/dcs

I could not identify how this happens or why.

For me, it showed dcs-web b0a6428.

The solution to this surprising behavior is that the Service Worker caches the results page and does an API request in the background to fill in the actual results.

I opened Chrome’s developer tools, selected Application → Service Workers → Unregister, then reloaded the page. Now I see dcs-web 955c194.

I don’t know if we should be doing more to invalidate the cache here. We typically only bump it when there are changes to the Service Worker code.
