Description Tuomas Hietala 2022-09-14 15:53:19 UTC
Description:
On the front page of Help, the user is told to look for the menu item "Find on this page" in View menu. I'm not sure this information is still correct for any major browser.

Firefox does have an optionally visible menu bar, but there the menu item is called "Find in Page..." and it's in the Edit (not View) menu.

I don't know about Safari. Chrome does not have a menu bar any more. Internet Explorer is no longer supported.

Also, there's a string that calls the search box a "Search for" box, but in Firefox at least, there's no title anymore in the box (if there ever was).


Steps to Reproduce:
1. See https://translations.documentfoundation.org/translate/libo_help-master/textshared05/en/?checksum=b8389e143f57f90c and https://translations.documentfoundation.org/translate/libo_help-master/textshared05/en/?checksum=e1b330bd8f0ce0b0
2. Compare to latest Firefox and other browsers.


Actual Results:
The Help page does not match what's there in the browsers.

Expected Results:
The Help page does accurately reflect the UI of the major browsers in 2022.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

I agree that the mention to a specific browser menu is not appropriate, first because it's outdated and second because each browser will have this feature in a different menu.

Maybe we could give a more generic message, such as:

Open the Search tool in your web browser, which is usually accessible using the Ctrl + F shortcut.

What do you think?

Sounds good!
