Description cat22 2015-12-26 19:56:11 UTC

currently the "Find" function only searches whatever page is visible in the help center window.There needs to be an additional find button/menu item that can:
1. search all of the help topic selected
2. search all of help (entirely)
also, and this is unrelated to "Find" specificly, but the various kate plugins are VERY poorly documented.
for example in the help we find this:
Project Plugin - Project plugin for kate
Thats it!?
Help should document how to use it, what menu its on and more (the more the better)
I find this kind of thing to be rue for a lot of topics in help center.
Reminds me of Borland, the company nearly died due to bad help documentation, dont let this happen to KDE - PLEASE!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Help
2. Select a topic e.g office (any topic in contents) on left sidebar
3. click the Find button

Actual Results:  
searches ONLY the visible page.

Expected Results:  
should search the entire topic

Create glossary cache directory if not existing

Make sure that the directory for the glossary cache exists, so meinproc5
can write to that.

1. is duplicated of few bugs, for example #342496, I'm going to close this as duplicate of that one.
2. is going to be solved with the upcoming indexing and search system.
