We are waiting for developer to implement new engine (maybe Nepomuk-based). For now, you can use our online documentation systems: http://docs.kde.org/ http://userbase.kde.org/ Both allows full-text search. You can also download PDF files for big manuals and use Okular for fine-grained search. It is also possible to use KRunner (Alt+F2) to find an application or System Settings module to accomplish some needed tasks. Hope this helps. Best regards, Yuri
