It's a bit confusing what you are looking for. You originally asked for an index of keywords, but here you're asking for contents. Both are indexed, either through the :help ^D or :help <TAB>, or virtually via regexp and "helpgrep".
If "helpgrep" doesn't find it, then it isn't part of the help system, since it does a regexp through everything regardless of structure. Of course, if you're unsure as to what to "grep" for, then you are stuck with reading the doc.s via the various tables of contents links until you have enough working knowledge to begin searching for related items. --- Eddy PetriÅor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 4/16/06, Eric Arnold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Search for help: Type ":help word", then hit CTRL-D to see matching > > help entries for "word". > > > On 4/16/06, Yakov Lerner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On 4/16/06, Eddy PetriÅor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > My question is: how hard would it be to add an index for help topics > > > > > so one could say something like: > > > > > > > > > > :indexsearch <keyword list> > > > > > > Help topics *are* indexed, Eddy.
