Thanks Torsten, I can't test this change right now but it looks like it will do what I expect.

With changeset http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/e1b849489e73 the full text search in the opened help text is based on the first quoted string within the search query string or on the first non-quoted string.

As a result of this change, compound search queries are not handled very well now.

Trying to search for e.g. "figure properties" (including quotes) from the Search tab lead to a few results. Clicking the first one, which is also the most relevant here since its title is "Figure Properties", opens the corresponding page, but at the first occurrence of "figure (including the first quote).
In this case I would expect the page to be open at the first line since the title exactly matches the search query.

Note that running "doc 'figure properties'" from the terminal, automatically opens the right html page, at the first line. Maybe part of the code for this could be reused for that.

With changeset
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/3f46b474d2bb
the first text occurrence is now shown in the first visible line.

Closing the report.

Yes, the blue colored links.
Again, that issue is no big deal.

Philip, with "title of the search result" you mean the blue colored link? This is the only part of the search result which is clickable. The contents of the result widget in the search pane is created and formatted by the help-engine of Qt, not by our code.

I can confirm the other issue and will try to fix this.

Thanks Torsten for making this.

It now works, but in an -at first- somewhat unexpected way.
One has to click the title of the search results rather than the search text below the title; OK, I can very well live with that.

Another small thing:
When clicking a function name in the function index, the text displayed has the first occurrence on the top line (see attached pic "bug_55228_Linux_viaFuncIndex.png").
When clicking a function name through the search function, the text  displayed has the search term at the bottom line (see attached pic "bug_55228_Linux_viaSearch.png").
IMO it would be better if the search text would be shown at the top line.

With changeset http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/af99ea9c325f clicking a link in the search result widget opens the linked help section, highlights all occurrences of the search text in it and goes to the first occurrence.

Clicking on a result in the search pane, the text browser jumps to the beginning of the related chapter but not to the occurrence of the search text.
