I can confirm that this is still an issue with yelp 2.14.1-0ubuntu1 and beagle 0.2.4-0ubuntu1.
If beagled is running when yelp is started, yelp uses the beagle search backend. According to its logs, Beagle receives the query but doesn't find anything. If beagled isn't running, yelp uses its default search and gets some results. It doesn't look like Beagle crawls the documentation (only ~), so it's no suprise it doesn't find anything. I agree with the initial reporter that beagle support should be removed from the yelp package until another solution can be found (as beagle support is useless at the moment anyway). It's confusing to find no search results for queries like 'ubuntu' and not everyone is going to know that beagle is to blame. Although beagle is optional, many people are likely to install it due to its popularity, experience this bug, then seek support or file this same bug again and again.... I'm bumping this up to 'minor' as a result, seb :) ** Changed in: yelp (Ubuntu) Severity: Wishlist => Minor -- Beagle-support in yelp should be removed. https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/39458 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
