[issue20997] Wrong URL fragment identifier in search result

New submission from Baptiste Mispelon:

When doing a search for "PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE" on the 2.7 docs (http://docs.python.org/2/search.html?q=PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE), the first (and only) search result is the following link:

http://docs.python.org/2/using/cmdline.html?highlight=pythondontwritebytecode#PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE

(note the `#PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE` at the end)

Clicking this link takes you to the right page but the browser doesn't scroll to the correct position on the page as expected.

This is because there's no element with an `id` of `PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE`. The correct id is `envvar-PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE`.


Things work as expected when searching on version 3 docs (http://docs.python.org/3/search.html?q=PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE), where the correct fragment identifier is generated in the search results.
