            Bug ID: 440415
           Summary: WISH: add ability to search within one product
                    handbook e.g grep a handbook
           Product: khelpcenter
           Version: 5.7.6.21043
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kde-doc-english at kde.org
          Reporter: erbenton at comcast.net
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
As it is right now the search just finds application manuals or man pages with
the words searched for. The problem is that if you are using a product, say
kate for example, and want to find help on a specific topic the help tends to
be all over the place encompassing any and all product manuals. 
Search should stay within the relevant manual that got you here, e.g pressing
F1 in kate should stay within the kate handbook and thus searches should take
you to places in that handbook.
Here is an example: 
  open kate
  in Kate under tools->Scripts i see "Quick coding" so, whats that about?
  press F1
  enter quick coding
  what comes up is kaddressbook - Glossary which is irrelevant to my quest to
find out what the heck Quick Coding is
Try anther example but this time pick Bookmark (this will work)
  A list of manuals comes up and this time Kate is one of them, clicking on
kate opens to the proper page where Bookmark is described.

WISH: If the manuals where individually searchable much as you would grep a
file it would be a big improvement
