Description putt1ck 2018-10-11 06:38:38 UTC
Description:
Searching for "sumif" in the help's "Find" section doesn't return a link to the content for "sumif" 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open help from Calc
2. Search for sumif (countif, averageif)
3. Look at results

Actual Results:
The search is returning only related/similar items e.g. sumifs, averageif. Similarly searching for countif. Searching for averageif does return the link to averageif, but places averageifs at the top of the list, as if (sic) that's a better match.

Expected Results:
A top ranked result that links to the help content for the function searched for.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Can not confirm.

On Windows 10 Ent 64-bit en-US with

Version: 6.1.1.2 (x64) with local help installed
Build ID: 5d19a1bfa650b796764388cd8b33a5af1f5baa1b
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; 
Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: CL

Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) using online help
Build ID: 5f5d890c242b8a092804991dba809f6f4287cfb2

TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2018-10-03_23:04:03

Both return a search for "sumif" that links to content as in this online help

Updated to 6.1.2.1 (openSUSE Tumbleweed) with the same results. A find for sumif or countif doesn't return that content item, but averageif does.

putt1ck: you are using the old help system, which will be going away. SUMIF function is found by the index filter in the new html help.
Comment 8 putt1ck 2018-11-18 09:07:33 UTC
So there's a fix coming but there's a bug in the current release? Or there's a fix but for some reason OpenSUSE is building LO without the new help system?

NB bug still present for me in 6.1.3.2

It should be possible for openSUSE to build the new help for 6.1 already: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2018/08/10/taming-libreoffice-6-1s-new-help-system/
