Why does nothing show up in the documentation search results?

Why, when I click on 'Help' in MATLAB and search for something, do no search results come up? It will say something like "Results 1 to 10 of 314", but there will be no actual results.

This issue is due to how MATLAB renders HTML files. The documentation is displayed as an HTML file, so if MATLAB's preferences for rendering HTML have been changed the documentation is sometimes not displayed correctly. This can typically be resolved by instructing MATLAB to use the default HTML renderer:

>> com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HtmlComponentFactory.setDefaultType('')
