Description Leandro Martín Drudi 2018-08-24 02:41:45 UTC
Description:
Allow search in the help with different options.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice
2. Create new file (in Writer, Calc, etc.)
3. Press F1 or go Help -> Help
4. Write something to find.

Actual Results:
You are looking for something, the search is too literal. If you type (not really like that, but by way of example) "pri" to search for "print" and variations, the results will be 0. Because search literally "pri" and not "pri*" (for pri-nt, pri-nter, pri-nting, etc.)
Also, Spanish has written accents so, being literal, you will not find accented words if you write them without an accent and vice versa.

Expected Results:
Can use an avanced filter o writ conditionants for find results.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Include AND, OR, literal with "" and everithing what the user can use to find help. To be able to use conditioning factors to improve the search results. Include, perhaps, advanced options.

Leandro: please complete the report so we understand what you are referring to.
Version is "unspecified". Thus we have no idea, if you are referring to the old help in a version older than 6.1.
In the new HTML help, the Index filter definitely filters with incomplete strings.

Hi!
I reinstalled the help (the new version in HTML) and it works better but it does not always get the results well. I tried to find "mínimo", "máximo", "minimo" and "maximo" and the accented ones obtain different results ("mínimo" includes "minimum" between the results but "minimo" does not bring it)

If you can not find an error, I honestly do not know what I can do because downloading the file again and reinstalling it has not worked.

(Sorry: Use google translator)

It is not an error, it is just the fuzzy matching we currently use: http://fusejs.io/

I would like to replace it with this, which should be much faster and have better matches: https://github.com/farzher/fuzzysort
