https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/yelp/+bug/3220

does not activate typeahead find (although yelp's find is typeahead anyway)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to System -> Help .
2. In the Help Topics window press / .

Expected results:

Find dialog to appear at the bottom of the window as in some other programs.

Actual results:

Nothing happens.

Additional information:

If you use Ctrl-F to get the find dialog up pressing escape does not dismiss it
as in other programs."

It'd be nice to have ' activate serch-linux-text mode like it does in other mozilla-based apps as well.

Still here in
Ubuntu Gutsy
yelp 2.19.90-0ubuntu2
Comment 6 Don Scorgie 2008-01-13 19:33:31 UTC 
Not any more.  Finally found the time to implement this without interfering with "search".  Marking as Fixed.

	* src/gtkentryaction.c: 
	* src/gtkentryaction.h: 
	* src/yelp-window.c: 
	Make / activate find
	Make find go away when losing focus (like epiphany)
