Description Andrey Cherepanov 2005-04-05 09:01:26 UTC 
Version:           3.4 (using KDE 3.4.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.26-01-NeTraverse-i686-SMP-64GB

When I try to search ONE word in man pages it work fine, but on search several words (such as 'list directory') no pages found. Why? 
On search by one word 'directory' a get 'dir - list directory contents'
This pages should be found and for search 'list directory'.

By search you mean the KHC search feature or the inline document search?

Improve man search

Improve the helper script for performing the search on man pages:
- pass the language and the search method (and/or) to it
- use an array to compose the command line of apropos
- pass the language to apropos
- if the search method is "and", pass --and to apropos (its default is
  like "or)
- split the search string by "+"; it is a kludge, but needed due to the
  internal handling of search in khelpcenter currently
