Changing the Django version to search

Note

The lightning fast search is powered by Algolia which was generous enough to hand me a big enough plan to fit all the indices for the officially supported Django documentation versions. A big thank you to @redox from @algolia 😇 🍻 ❤️

The index for Algolia was compiled from the zipped Django HTML documentation using a simple Python script I wrote.
