Description Radu-Cristian Fotescu 2007-12-26 00:14:21 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
In several RHEL5.1 clones (GNOME 2.16),searching in Yelp for tar won't give in the list of results anything that links to man:tar(1), and which should have the description "tar manual page". 

Additionally, in Fedora 8, GNOME 2.20.1, searching in Yum by kill doesn't give in the list of results anything that links to man:kill(1), and which should have the description "kill manual page".

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:

Does this happen every time?

Comment 2 garrett.mitchener 2013-04-12 13:52:32 UTC 
This is still present.  I saw where you can type Ctrl-L and type man:tar in the resulting text entry and get the manual page, but why not include that in the search without Ctrl-L?
