GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 73840
Changes required to support Help->Search menu item in apps
Last modified: 2018-05-22 12:37:20 UTC
The draft HIG currently suggests that apps should have a Help->Search menu item, which would allow the user to search the help pages for that application only: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/draft_hig/standard-menus.html#menu-standard-help Provided this recommendation remains in the HIG, it would be good if Yelp could support it.
Assuming that this is as enhancement, right?
I guess so... I certainly haven't been/won't be logging any bugs against apps that don't have a Help->Search menu item, as long as I know Yelp/the help system can't support it yet anyway.
Mass moving Yelp bugs to new maintainer.
Is this enhancement requesting fully searchable help for Gnome or something more subtle? Working link to the page mentioned http://web.archive.org/web/20020811063142/http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/draft_hig/standard-menus.html The current version of the Guidelines, version 2.0 does not mention "Help, Search" http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/menus-standard.html and if this were to be implemented it would make sense to provide a GTK Stock item for it to make it easier for everyone involved.
Yep, it was really requesting fully searchable help. (In our usual "should the HIG be achievable or aspirational?" quandary, the Help->Search item was just commented out of the HIG until this feature became available.)

Shaun removed my bug 162431 marking it as a duplicate of this bug - but I don't agree that it is duplicate in 100%. Because in this bug you request fully searchable help pages by adding option to this application specific Help menu. While Yelp and entire help system for gnome is available via System->Help menu entry (I mean menu on gnome-panel). So I agree - both bugs are in fact requests for the same feature but not in the same way. application -> Help -> Search vs. gnome-panel -> System -> Help....
