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).
