            Bug ID: 138485
           Summary: help.l.o search result links to other page than where
                    the search string was found
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: lionel at mamane.lu

Description:
When doing a search on help.libreoffice.org, clicking on a link in the search
results brings one to a different help page than the one where the search
string was found.

It looks like it always send to the "writer" variant of the help page, even if
the writer variant is not a match for the search.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open https://help.libreoffice.org/ in a browser
2. in the top fulltext search box (not the index search box on the left), enter
"whole sheet export" WITH the quote characters.
3. click the magnifying glass icon
4. this brings one to
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-GB/search?P=%22whole+sheet+export%22&DEFAULTOP=and&xP=ZBwhole%09ZFwhole%09ZSwhole%09Zwhole%09ZBsheet%09ZFsheet%09ZSsheet%09Zsheet%09ZBexport%09ZFexport%09ZSexport%09Zexport&xFILTERS=.%7E%7E
5. there is one result. Click on it.
6. This brings one to
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-GB/text/shared/01/ref_pdf_export_general.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=UNIX
7. With one's browser built-in "search in this page" feature, search for "whole
sheet export" (without the quotes)
8. Observe that the page does not contain this phrase and is thus not a match
for the search requested!

Actual Results:
One gets sent to the wrong page
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-GB/text/shared/01/ref_pdf_export_general.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=UNIX

Expected Results:
One gets sent to the correct page
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-GB/text/shared/01/ref_pdf_export_general.html?&DbPAR=CALC&System=UNIX
which is presumably the match that was actually found by the website's search
engine.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
The difference between the two URLs is replacing &DbPAR=WRITER by &DbPAR=CALC
