Description joup 2001-06-29 04:31:30 UTC 
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           khelpcenter
Version:           KDE 2.1.0 
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    FreeBSD Ports
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Not Specified
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

The first place I turn to for help w/ KDE is the search feature in the help center-- it's great if you configure your search index correctly.  But it can be very limiting if you only include "helpcenter" documents and adding help directories one at a time can be tedious and irritating.

A better option might be to locate all directories containing *.html files or those with "help" "doc" "man" etc. in the path.  Present a checkbox dialog to the user with "Check the directories you'd like to add to the search path" and khelpcenter becomes the helpcenter for the entire system instead of just kde.
