--- Comment #2 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
As a true open and free project we cannot hard-code a Google search (Mozilla
receives most of the large income from Google, btw). Wikipedia might be
feasible but has its limitation.

Second, I don't see the point of a web search for text processors or a spread
sheet tools. The principle to keep things simple is always a good advice for
usability. If you need to search the web for some information just switch to
the browser.

And last but not least this enhancement could be done easily per extension. In
this case you can try to make a business with LibreOffice by providing the
Google search.

The recommendation of WONTFIX has been agreed on by the ESC too.
