search is missing in yelp. But, it is available in JDS. Justification: It helps blind / low vision users.
Perhaps the people responsible for JDS could send their patch upstream?
In JDS a Java application, jds-help, not yelp is used to display help. This bug is a request that a similar search option be provided in yelp.
I hope my interpretation of this comment isn't right. Sun don't use yelp to display docs in JDS? And still they block yelp from GNOME 2.10.0 because of a11y regression with the gecko engine? Strange...

Just to clarify, JDS uses a javahelp-based browser by default, but switches to Yelp automatically if you turn on accessibility support, as Yelp in its current form is more accessible (but less functional). This is obviously bad on many levels :)
