Can't search the KDE Help Centre

[Bogus Zaba]

I think it happened after I upgraded to KDE3.4.1 - all from RPM 
binaries, not compiled from sources. Also I don't think I have excluded 
help docs, since I can browse them, just not possible to search them - 
ie the docs are there, but something has gone wrong with getting them 
indexed for searching.
