Ruby - ri - missing stdlib documentation

I've been unable to search Ruby ri, using a web browser via:

ri --server

My use case is that I want to be able to find a Ruby stdlib class (like Array or Integer) using the search input at the top-right of the page, but the search results returned don't show me anything from the stdlib. I'm not sure what I'm missing or doing wrong...

Someone else on the /r/ruby subreddit also had the same issue, using Arch Linux.

And, as the comments suggested in the Reddit thread, I had a look at the search_index.js file the browser requested, and I couldn't see any of the stdlib classes anywhere.

I've installed:

ruby ruby-rdoc ruby-docs

as suggested by the Wiki.

If anyone has any suggestions, they'd be greatly appreciated!

And, as this is my first post, I apologise in advance if there's something wrong with the post!
