This may be a build system problem.
Building the v3.9.6 tag locally on Windows 10.0.19043 produces a help file that
can properly search.
On top of that locally built python396.chm file output is 3MB larger (around
the same size as the 3.9.5 help file).

I replicated the issue: downloading the "Windows Help File" (python396.chm)
from the release page https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-396/ ,
opening it, and entering a search term (e.g., "tuple") into the search tab
resulted in a message box pop-
New submission from Matthew Zielinski :
The Manual for python 3.9.6 always says there are no entries. I searched things
it definitely had, like modules, but it said there were no topics found.
