I have found that when I work with a brand new Suse distro with KDE 
provided, the help system is indexed and the index will find search 
items. When I have updated my KDE installation however, the index do no 
longer works and refuses to re-build itself despite a lot of playing 
around trying to point it at the right directories. Install a new Suse 
version with its KDE and it all works again. Not sure if that gives 
anybody any clues.
