Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kdebase-runtime
When opening khelpcenter i'm used to search for man pages and/or topics i want to have more information about. Since Lucid this seems no longer possible. There is no Tab named "Search" anymore, i can't build a search index (button grayed out) and when starting khelpcenter from the commandline i get the following error message: khelpcenter(2012) KHC::SearchEngine::initSearchHandlers: "No valid search handler found." I do have htdig installed, which was the cause for problems in the past, i believe. After a long search i found the following changelog entry within the kdebase-runtime package: kdebase-runtime (4:4.4.2-0ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low [ Brandon Holtsclaw ] * Removed searchhandlers from being installed to hide the search tab in khelpcenter4 (htdig broken/not in main) Closes (LP: #19767) So i tested htdig and it works fine and as i could install it without problems, i must assume it is in the repositories, too. According to the result of a IRC help session, khelpcenter seems to work for at least some other people, so i have to also assume that the Search function is supposed to work (otherwise the whole khelpcenter would seem rather pointless to me), but i also confirmed the missing Search tab on at least two other installations (one an in-place upgrade, the other a new installation).
