auto merge of #11760 : dmac/rust/addressable-search, r=alexcrichton

This change adds two improvements to docs searching functionality.

First, search results will immediately be displayed when a ?search=searchterm
query string parameter is provided to any docs url.

Second, search results are now inserted into the browser history, allowing for
easier navigation between search results and docs pages.
