Bug#43232: KDevelop doesn't find htdig search-results file

Wed May 29 21:34:02 UTC 2002

Package: kdevelop
Version: 2.1 (as distributed with KDE 3.0) (using KDE 3.0.0 )
Severity: normal
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 2.96
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

When I use "search for help on" with the htdig search-engine, KDevelop allways reports there were no matches, regardless of what I searched for.

The search-engine DOES produce the right results, and puts 'em in $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kdevelop/search_result.html
which is the correct file-location, as far as I can tell.

BTW I need to manually change a line "searchengine=" to "searchengine=htdig" under [Doc_Location] in $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeveloprc to even get this far.  When I change the line to searchengine=glimpse, things work as expected.  It's just that I'd like to use htdig as that produces more sophisticated results. 

I encountered this issue earlier in KDevelop 2.2 as well.
