| Description | This JavaScript snippet manages the website's theme based on user preferences. It retrieves the user's theme preference from localStorage; if the preference is 'system' or not set, it checks the system's theme setting via the 'prefers-color-scheme' media query. Depending on the outcome, it applies either a dark or light theme to the document. For explicit 'light' or 'dark' preferences, it directly applies the corresponding theme. Error handling is also incorporated to ensure smooth operation. | The code provided consists of JavaScript event listeners and style modifications for a webpage. It handles search initialization, hash change, page show events, DOM modifications, and cookie consent display. The functions adjust the layout and style dynamically based on user interactions with search queries and page states. Specific elements are displayed or hidden, and styles change depending on the search parameters and user actions. |
