Thanks for making an issue @electriquo! Hm, this surprises me slightly, but it's also true that we don't test _posts rigorously as part of our test suite.

I'm happy to look into a more permanent solution in the long-term, but in the interest of unblocking you: I believe (but have not personally tested) that explicitly adding posts to the JtD collections key may resolve your problem:

# within your _config.yml
just_the_docs:
  collections:
    posts: 
      name: Posts

For context on why this may work, these lines control the collections that are added to the search index:

just-the-docs/assets/js/zzzz-search-data.json

Lines 8 to 9 in 52b4b44

	{%- if site.just_the_docs.collections -%}
	{%- for collection_entry in site.just_the_docs.collections -%}

So, the above snippet explicitly adds the posts collection to the what we iterate over.
