            Bug ID: 119415
           Summary: Online help search feature does not honor the "module"
                    drop-down
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.0.0.alpha0+
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jim.avera at gmail.com
                CC: olivier.hallot at documentfoundation.org

Description:
The online documentation has a drop-down to select a "module" (Writer, Calc,
etc.) but it appears to have no effect on what the Index search box returns. 
As a result, searches return many confusing & irrelevant hits.

In particular, getting help for Calc features is difficult because searches
return hits for Writer, and they appear first.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Start Calc using a development build, then Help->LibreOfficeDev Help
to open the online documentation.

On my system, this opens
file:///home/admin/lotest/6.1.1.0.0/opt/libreofficedev6.1/help/en-US/text/scalc/main0000.html

2. Click the "Module" drop-down and select "Calc"

3. Type "moving" into the search box. 

RESULTS: 
  A long list of stuff is shown under a "WRITER" heading.  Then (have to scroll
down) there is a "CALC" heading followed by only two hits, both of which go to
"Move or Copy a Sheet".  That's it.

EXPECTED RESULTS:
  Similar to what you get when using offline help (same information, possibly
different formatting).   Using v6.0.3.2, searching for "moving" in offline help
returns these as the first hits:
   cell, rows and columns by drag and drop
   spreadsheets
   tab stops on ruler
   toolbars
   using guide lines in presentations
   visible cells only

None of these appear in online help search results for Calc except
"spreadsheets".
