Search box can fail to render on certain pages

Steps to reproduce
- Visit https://design.gitlab.com/components/tooltip/
- This is usually sufficient for the bug to happen. If you do see the search box, try doing a hard refresh.
Possible cause
The errors in the embedded stories seem to be breaking the rendering of the search box. It's not clear why/how yet.
Still, I'm noticing that the search box waits for a large en.json file to download before rendering. I wonder if that's related. That JSON file should probably instead not block rendering of it.
