Description George R. Goffe 2011-02-14 13:12:59 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

I'm trying to change my cursor theme, i.e., the shape/color and tried to find this in system settings so I invoked the help facility. After building the index, I was still not able to find just where in System Settings one performs this action. I have seen the dialogue in Settings but can't remember where it's locate. The help facility was not helpful.

Additionally, I tried to use the help "create a bug" process but it failed as well, giving a popup that lists possible causes as server down, firewall protecting my system/network, the server/server network.


Reproducible: Always

Add Xapian support for indexing and searching

Start using Xapian for indexing and searching the documentation: it
works much better than htp://dig, it provides a C++ API, and it is well
maintained.

Introduce two helper tools to create/update an index, and search on it,
starting from the cache.bz2 files generated by meinproc: this way it is
possible to index the whole text, with the entities already expanded
(something which would not be there when parsing the docbook files
directly). Make use of libxml2 to parse the HTML documents, and get all
the text in them.

Xapian and libxml2 are currently considered as mandatory dependencies:
they are portable, generally available everywhere, and not requiring
themselves too many extra dependencies.

Re-enable the full-index search

Now that
- Xapian is in place for indexing and searching
- ht://dig is removed
- indexes are updated automatically each startup
we can enable the full-index search again.
